The latest vote count for Ned Fluet continues to advance his lead over his opponent, Frank Rosenblum, in the race for Woodside’s District 7 Town Council seat.
The unofficial count from the San Mateo County Elections Office as of 4:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, shows Fluet with 797 votes, a gain of 163 votes from the Nov. 13 count.
This latest tally increases Fluet’s lead by one percentage point (in round numbers) to 55 percent of the vote. Rosenblum has 643 votes (about 45 percent), a gain of 117.
The election night count gave Fluet a 52 percent lead.
The next vote count will be announced by the Elections Office on Monday, Nov. 19.
The winner in the District 7 race will represent neighborhoods along La Honda and Old La Honda roads and areas west of Portola Road.
The Elections Office is slower than usual in counting votes due to the use of all-mailed-in ballots, with ballots coming in on and after election day.
Jim Irizarry of the San Mateo County elections office said that out of 289,169 ballots cast in the county, there were an estimated 107,249 ballots still unprocessed, or about 37.1 percent, as of the evening of Nov. 16. That figure includes all provisional, conditional and challenged ballots, he said.
