Election results, transparency and Peninsula governance

Mountain View’s uncertified Council count is close and shifting: Poicon has moved 145 votes ahead of Robert Cox, while Sijia Paymer leads Poicon by only 64; a large county ballot backlog could change the order again. IdaRose Sylvester remains among reported leaders, and Measures E, S, and F lead. Council’s formal vote on city attorney choice Justin Mates is scheduled November 10.
