Robinson, McAustin, Cooper and Harrison. And Victory for V!

Big change in the District 1 numbers between the time I left the Convention Center, where Robin Salzer was maintaining a big lead of Jacque Robinson.

Precinct voters -- that is people who actually show up and vote -- gave Jacque the bump she needed to finish about 100 votes ahead of Robin.

Margaret McAustin, as expected, easily won the District 2 race.

Renatta Cooper, who finished with a strong lead on March 6, did equally well to take PUSD Seat 2.

Seat 4 incumbent Bill Bibbiani, the sole sitting member of the unpopular school board to ask voters for another term, was edged out by restaurant owner Bob Harrison.

And a last-minute addition: Sierra Madre's Measure V squeeked through on a (what's more narrow than a razor?) margin that could only be measured by its atomic weight.
