South Bay BART Extension Still Behind, But Close

 Complete Election Results
SAN JOSE (BCN) ― With about 35,000 votes still left to count, a measure to fund a Bay Area Rapid Transit extension through the South Bay still lags behind the necessary two-thirds majority to pass, Santa Clara County elections officials said Monday.

The latest figures released Monday by the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters have Measure B—a one-eighth-cent sales tax for the 16-mile BART extension from Fremont through Milpitas, San Jose and Santa Clara—at 393,322 for and 198,319 against, a 66.48-percent majority.

A minimum of 66.67 percent is needed for the measure to pass.

According to Registrar of Voters spokeswoman Elma Rosas, more than 17,500 ballots had been counted between Friday and today, but most of the remaining 35,000 are provisional ballots, which take longer to process, she said.

Elections officials have until Dec. 2 to certify the final vote, Rosas said.
