There are still 77,000 ballots in Fresno County left to process, and many of those will be within the city of Fresno. But, early numbers show a disparity in turnout based on geography.
In the latest results update released Friday (Nov. 9) afternoon, Fresnans cast 86,687 ballots, or 36% turnout.
In districts 3, 5 and 7, which covers Fresno south of Highway 180, turnout averaged 25%. For the rest of the city, turnout was 41%.
