"The Latest in the Mayor’s Race"

Erica C. Barnett (Publicola):
These numbers represent the majority of the votes that are going to come in today (a second drop is expected later tonight):

Mike McGinn: 75,657 49.99 percent

Joe Mallahan: 74,448 49.19 percent

That’s a margin of 1,209—significantly wider than yesterday’s 515-vote gap, and a gain of 694 votes.

The latest count is skewing hard toward McGinn, indicating a possible late surge: 51.36 to 47.96.

I’ve got calls out to McGinn and the Mallahan camp to see what they make of the latest numbers.
