Former Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) is neck and neck with her main rival in the Oakland special mayoral election, with the race too close to call.
The initial tally of the results of the ranked-choice election shows former City Council member Loren Taylor (D) leading with 48.2 percent of the vote, just over 1,000 votes more than Lee, who has 45.7 percent. The eight other candidates in the race all received less than 2 percent.
The counting could continue for days as mail-in ballots need to be counted and then subsequent rounds can happen for one candidate to get to a majority of the vote.
