Nick Resnick, who may not actually have won an Oakland school board seat, will be sworn in as planned on Monday anyway.
OAKLAND — Nick Resnick will be sworn in to an Oakland Unified school board seat Monday, though how long he actually serves is now in the hands of the Alameda County courts.
“Hopefully, we can come together and get this done in a timely manner,” Hutchinson said. “We have real work that we’re planning on doing.” Resnick is listed as defendant in the filing, which is officially termed an “election contest.” It also Reed and Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis as real parties of interest.
The votes have not actually been re-counted — rather, when the error was caught, county officials re-ran a ranked choice algorithm that transfers votes between candidates based on how voters listed their preferences. The District 4 school board race was the only one where the winning candidate changed.
But one county supervisor, Keith Carson, floated the idea Thursday of ordering a recount of all ranked choice elections in Oakland and San Leandro — two cities that, along with Berkeley and Albany, have adopted the format.
