South San Joaquin  Irrigation District Division 4 board member Dale Kuil appeared to be fending off challenger Robert Geer with 2,118 — 79.46 percent of the votes that had been counted — to 536.
There are still tens of thousands of absentee ballots countywide that also are left to be verified and counted. It could take a week to two weeks to count them given the large number of voters to cast mail-in ballots.
