McKinley now leads over Chaffee for council seat

BY HEATHER McREA
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

FULLERTON – Pat McKinley inched ahead of Doug Chaffee on Friday in the race for one of two open seats on the City Council.

The Orange County Registrar of Voters has been updating election results on its website at the end of each day as it counts remaining mail-in, hand-delivered, paper and provisional ballots.

Chaffee was leading McKinley by 30 votes, but Friday's update showed McKinley had regained the lead 8,808 to Chaffee's 8,772.

Incumbent Don Bankhead has held a clear lead since polls closed. At the end of Friday, he had 10,223.
McKinley had taken an early lead as results were posted several times Tuesday night, but by Wednesday morning Chaffee had pulled ahead.

Also holding a clear lead has been Bruce Whitaker, who garnered 37.8 percent of the vote for the two-year seat left open by Shawn Nelson's departure to the county Board of Supervisors.
