Measure R’s lead increases slightly
The lead increased slightly Tuesday for the countywide half-cent transportation sales tax hike known as Measure R, as the Los Angeles County registrar’s office posted more unofficial results from the Nov. 4 election.
Measure R has 67.23% of the vote and needs two-thirds to pass.
The registrar’s office did not say Tuesday how many votes are left to be counted, but Measure R proponents say that at this point the results of those ballots will have to be markedly different from the nearly 2.69 million ballots tallied for Measure R to lose.
