Both candidates entangled in the stunning election debacle have lawyered up and still fully intend to claim the District 4 school board seat.
OAKLAND — As it stands, the certified winner of an Oakland Unified school board race is prepared to be sworn in to office Monday, even though high-ranking Alameda County officials and election experts have determined he did not actually win.
But in the public eye, the situation’s urgency is been overshadowed by scrutiny of ranked choice voting, an “instant runoff” format that allows voters to list their preferred candidates and transfers second- and later-choice votes from losing candidates to the frontrunners until someone wins majority support.
“In the first or any round, in the event that any ballot reaches a ranking with no candidate indicated, that ballot shall immediately be advanced to the next ranking,” the charter states. Neither candidate has spoken to Dupuis since last week, when the registrar called them individually to deliver the alarming news. Both Resnick and Hutchinson attended a school board orientation Wednesday but did not discuss the election issue.
