After more ballots are counted, 2nd Council District race is still unclear

After today's "unofficial" count of alternative and absentee ballots, the winner in the race for the next 2nd District Councilperson is still unclear.

Before the count, Kenyatta Johnson was beating Barbara Capozzi by 72 votes. According to the Committee of Seventy, today's count was 39 for Capozzi, 27 for Johnson, 17 no votes, 7 for Tracey Gordon, 6 for Damon Roberts — and 38 are anticipated to be challenged for various reasons.

Tomorrow, the Commissioners will count 93 provisional ballots from the 2nd.

Meanwhile, the race between GOP mayoral candidates Karen Brown and John Featherman is also still up in the air. The Commissioners are counting alternative and absentee ballots from around the city on Monday.
