Dennis Herrera remains hopeful. “I want to see how the next round of votes goes,” he said.
But there was one thing that he was clear about: he does not like ranked choice voting. “I love the runoff system,” he said. “I have difference with candidates and it’s really hard to do it in a ranked-choice system."
It is a point Herrera has made before -- but tonight it was particularly stinging because he felt he could have beat Ed Lee in a head-to-head matchup.
At this point, though, it doesn’t look as if Herrea would have made a runoff anyway -- John Avalos seems to be in a solid second place.
