The Division of Elections has counted another tranche of ballots from the Nov. 5 election and the most watched item of the weekend is Ballot Measure 2, which asks voters if they want to repeal ranked-choice voting.

The No votes are picking up more than 50% of the 6,772 votes that were added to the total.

The repeal votes are 155,592 and the no votes are 154,697, a difference of 895 votes.

Approximately 9,000 votes currently remain to be counted, in addition to the military overseas ballots that will dribble in until Nov. 20, the cutoff date.
