How to read the two-seat result
Bradshaw, currently in second place, is 68 selections ahead of third-place Jeff Johnson. Johnson and Joseph E. Livreri are separated by one selection in the reported count.
The totals add to 600 candidate selections. That does not mean 600 people voted: each voter could choose two names. Likewise, the percentages are shares of selections in the race, not percentages of all Caliente residents or voters.
All four candidates appear as nonpartisan in the official results. This report does not establish certified winners, swearing-in dates or the final number of ballots cast in Caliente.
What happens next
Lincoln County Social will update this story when final, certified results are available. A lead in the state results display is not a declaration of a winner. Counties reporting counts does not mean every ballot has been counted.
