FRIDAY UPDATE 11/11/22 – PATHETIC KERN COUNTY ELECTION DEPARTMENT TAKES THE WEEKEND OFF WITH ONLY 55% OF THE VOTE COUNTED

With 72,428 unprocessed ballots and approximately 89,000 processed to date a total of 161,428 ballots have been received or counted by the Elections Department.

This means that only 55% of the vote in Kern County has been counted and we won’t recieve any more postings until next Tuesday. Pathetic job Kern County.

Update 11/11/22 3:47 p.m. Mayor Eric Bruen

Our eager Mayor couldn’t wait any longer and “accepts the role of Mayor for a second term” with less than 50% of the votes counted. He’s also congratulated Councilman Scott Hayman for being re-elected to a second term with a lead of 237 votes and over 3,750 ballots left to be counted. Bruen currently has 2,172 votes.

Update 11/11/22 2:05 p.m – Approximately 50% of Votes Counted in Ridgecrest’s Election

Kern County has processed approximately 34,000 ballots as of the last data drop from early Wednesday morning. Approxmiately 72,000 ballots remain to be processed. A total of approximately 89,000 ballots have been processed by the Kern County Elections Department since the polls closed.

Voter participation in 2022 has been terrible, possibly as low as 35%, although some fear that California may break the record for low voter turnout.

We now estimate that Ridgecrest’s outstanding ballots at 3,750 for a total mayoral count of approximately 7,500 votes. This is below our original estimate of approximately 9,500. Even still, at 7,500 ballots cast, the total of ballots processed for the City of Ridgecrest is only 50% with 3750 ballots estimated to be processed.

The top three candidates for City Council are separated by only 237 votes, while Mayor Eric Bruen leads Tom Wiknich by 654 votes.

Measure “P” has widened it’s lead to 347 votes with 54% voting Yes.
