Bruce Giudici, who died after campaigning accident, leads Calaveras County supervisor race: Here's what happens if he wins

Resumen detallado

Bruce Giudici, who died after a fall while campaigning, leads the Calaveras County District 5 race by 497 votes.

A deceased candidate in Northern California is on course to win a seat on the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors, potentially creating an unusual situation in which the state's incoming governor will have to appoint someone to fill the position.

Bruce Giudici, who died in August while campaigning, was leading the race for the District 5 supervisor seat by nearly 500 votes in the county's latest unofficial election results.

According to the latest figures, Giudici received 2,002 votes, representing 57.1% of the total, while his opponent, former Supervisor Clyde Clapp, secured 1,505 votes, or 42.9%. Giudici held a lead of 497 votes.

Although the results are not yet final, the remaining ballots are unlikely to change the outcome, Newsweek reported, citing someone associated with Giudici's campaign.

The county elections office reported that 168 ballots had yet to be processed. Additionally, 340 ballots remained eligible for signature correction, a process that allows voters to resolve missing or mismatched signatures.

It remains uncertain how many of these outstanding ballots belong to District 5. The next update to the unofficial results is scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday, while the official election results must be certified by December 3.

"There are a few hundred ballots left to process, but it is unlikely that the outcome of the race will change," Carrie Biggs-Adams, a volunteer with Giudici's campaign, told KCRA in Sacramento.
