Election Results: Jones, Nutter Reelected
A look at returns from the 2011 municipal election in Philadelphia
Election Day 2011 left with many predictable results throughout Philadelphia, though one race seems too-close-to-call.
Mayor Michael Nutter and Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr., were elected to second terms—with the latter running unopposed. Similarly, all five Democratic council at-large candidates were confirmed, as it seems is Republican candidate Dennis O'Brien. That leaves Republicans David Oh and Al Taubenberger fighting for the last council seat. With 140 more votes, Oh leads the former mayoral candidate as 96.21 percent have precincts reported. Taubenberger told CBS Philly he doesn't expect an ultimate result Tuesday. Philly.com reports that the race could be decided days or possibly weeks down the line.
Below are totals from across the city. Unless otherwise noted, the totals are citywide results from 96.03 percent of precincts reporting.
