David Weinstein is elected to School Committee after misreport Tuesday by Election Commission

The “preliminary unofficial” election results that Cambridge released on election night were incorrect and improperly included data from the “test deck” of ballots that are routinely used to test machine function before the election. That mistakenly gave the sixth place School Committee win to the wrong candidate.

David Weinstein beat out Eugenia Schraa Huh in Friday’s tally.

On Tuesday night, Schraa Huh beat out Weinstein by 2,744 to 2,629 (or 115 votes) in the 13th round of the count in city’s ranked-choice balloting system. But on Friday, Weinstein beat Schraa Huh by 2,761 to 2,666 (95 votes) in the 14th round.

“Some things have changed,” said Tanya Ford, executive director of the Cambridge Election Commission, at 5:56 p.m. Friday, speaking to the four appointed members of the commission at the end of the count. The commission meeting coincided with the count of ballots that were not processed on Election Day – the count and meeting ran from 9 a.m. until early evening each day Wednesday through Friday of this week.
