San Andreas, CA...If past is prologue the first results will roll in shortly after 8:30pm when they release the results of the vote by mail ballots received before polls have closed. In many of the past years if the results show more than a few percentage points between the contestants this first wave can predict the winners. But with 2016 being unlike most election cycles we shall see. Will the proponents of Measure D carry the day? Even their opposition has admired their campaign on style and implementation even if they disapprove of the measure. Will Former Supervisor Gary Tofanelli be able to regain his former seat or has Supervisor Edson proved to his constituents that his hands on the wheel are best? If you refresh the page after 8:30pm the results should start to show.
