Glenn County Observer

The lead has apparently shifted in the race for Glenn County Sheriff-Coroner.

As mentioned in Wednesday’s Glenn County Observer election results story, Richard Warren’s lead over Justin Gibbs continued to narrow with each vote count by the Glenn County Election Office.

At 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, the unofficial results showed Warren with 1,616 votes and Gibbs with 1,559, for a difference in Warren’s favor of 57 votes.

Fifty minutes later the same night, Warren had 1,644 votes and Gibbs had 1,596, a difference of 48 votes, still in Warren’s favor.

At 9:41 p.m., the count showed Warren with 1,703 votes and Gibbs with 1,674, for a difference of just 29 votes in Warren’s favor.

Now, at 2:53 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, the lead has flipped.

The fourth unofficial results show Gibbs with 2,075 votes, and Warren with 2,041.

This gives Gibbs a lead of 34 votes.
