With just 2,253 ballots left to process from the Nov. 5 presidential election, Shasta County’s elections department has released the latest round of voting results.
Those who were winning when the last results were released on Nov. 22 were still winning, according the results released Wednesday, Nov. 27. The margins of victory and loss changed only slightly.
The elections department had counted nearly all of the 78,136 votes cast in the election, as of Wednesday night. Registrar of Voters Tom Toller said he was confident he would be able to certify the election results to the California Secretary of State by Tuesday, Dec. 3.

Toller had originally hoped to finish counting votes by Nov. 22, but said ballot counting had been delayed due to a problem with overspray printing on the ballots and that nearly half of all ballots had to be duplicated and scanned a second time to ensure they were properly tallied.
