Election Results, Menifee, CA, Nov. 6, 2012

Updated results at 12:25 a.m.:

With 38 percent of the precincts reporting, former city councilman and current school board member Scott Mann appears headed for a big victory in the race for Mayor of Menifee.

Mann has received 7,526 votes, or 58.68 percent of the votes cast, far ahead of current council member Darcy Kuenzi (4,267, 33.27 percent).

"We're riding high over here," Mann said late Tuesday night, after watching national and local election results with about 200 supporters at Menifee Lakes Country Club. "I'm confident this lead will hold up. Typically, a lead like this holds during the night. That would be a hard margin to overcome."

Mann said he was confident of victory heading into Election Day after a straw poll of 600 mail-in ballot voters indicated he had received 62 percent of those votes.

The race for the City Council seat in District 1 was almost as one-sided, with Greg August leading incumbent Sue Kristjannson, 51.73 percent to 22.61 percent, although only 2 of 7 precincts have reported. By the far the closest race is in District, 3, where incumbent Wallace Edgerton leads challenger Bill Zimmerman, 53.19 percent to 46.81.
