The Contra Costa County Elections Division has updated their results from the March 3^rdPresidential Primary election.

The Democratic Presidential election results are, of course, of critical importance but a few downballot issues are important to the people in West County.

With 30,500 ballots left to be counted (countywide), Joe Biden still holds the lead in the 11^thCongressional District with an update expected later on Friday evening.

Measure R—the $575 WCCUSD School Bond measure—still holds a 1,260 vote lead (57.3% when 55% is required for passage).
