Spaceport tax supporters continue to pull ahead as elections workers tally provisional ballots this afternoon.
Supporters now have 8,812 votes, or 50.6 percent. Opponents have 8,530 votes, or 49.4 percent. The margin is 282 votes, or 1.2 percent.
Provisional ballots now stand at 109, or 60 percent, in support of the tax; 62, or 40 percent, opposed, and 11, or 6 percent, rejected.
There are 385 provisional ballots left to be considered. Supporters need 52 more votes to declare victory, if my math is correct. If I’m wrong, let me know. It’s a little chaotic here.
