The crowd at Kansai Bistro fell silent for a moment. Sue Lee’s supporters turned away from the KRON4 coverage on the three televisions and stopped sipping their drinks for a moment to hear campaign volunteer Julia read off the numbers she had just confirmed.

The first reports say that Sue Lee is carrying District 1 at 36.25 percent and Eric Mar at 35.12 percent.

A huge cheer went up through the crowd. Sue was no where to be found. I saw her walk outside to take a call on her cell about ten minutes ago. Stay tuned for the final numbers, but it looks like Lee has narrowly won this race.
