Losing candidate calls Richmond city council election into question over marina voters
RICHMOND — This city’s historic tie between two council candidates in the Nov. 8 election may come down to two voters living aboard boats anchored in the Richmond Marina Bay Harbor. And therein lies the latest controversy in a vote-counting dispute that shows no sign of ending.
“You would think if you had a marina and you drew a map and if there was a potential of people residing in boats, you would want to deal with that issue. But if it was just water, you wouldn’t think of that,” Aleshire said. If the map was accurate, Zepeda would move forward as the rightful victor, but the city could find itself in court over the issue. But there’s also a chance, the city attorney said, that there was a mistake or not enough information for a clear answer. Tossing out those ballots — which Zepeda believes supported his campaign — could make Butt the winner at the eleventh hour.
“Was there ever the intent to have a line there, or was this something we never thought about?” Aleshire asked.
