Reading this local result

The available-seat boundary is third versus fourth place. Each voter could select up to three candidates, so adding candidate votes does not give the number of voters.

These are preliminary returns from the November 3 general election. The official canvass can change totals and rankings. Reporting all precincts does not establish that every valid ballot has been processed or that an outcome has been certified. Any district crossing county lines requires the other counties’ returns as well.
