Confused about what’s going on in the Oakland school board race and other elections? Here’s a quick refresher.
In fact, with the deadline having passed in December, Dupuis suspects the only way for a recount to be allowable under the law would be if a court orders it.
“This is a situation that’s not really addressed clearly in the law,” Dupuis said of the school board snafu. “We’re probably setting new precedent, and so we’ll have to get before a judge and see what the judge does.” The District 4 Oakland Unified school board mess stemmed from 235 ballots where voters left the first-choice column blank — or added an ineligible write-in choice — but filled out their subsequent preferences.
Oakland’s city charter calls for ballots with a blank column to “immediately be advanced to the next ranking.” After voting advocacy groups alerted Dupuis to the mix-up, he confirmed on Dec. 28 that Hutchinson should have been elected to the board seat.Hutchinson has publicly declared himself the winner and filed an “election contest” lawsuit with the Alameda County court to reverse the election error.
He contends that it is unconstitutional to simply slide those votes into the first-choice category, noting a “vagueness” around why that line of the city charter exists at all. But it is likely the court will expedite the case, with Sutton saying he told his client to expect a two-month process.Q:
