A trial has been set for next month to determine who will occupy the District 4 seat on the Oakland Unified School District Board of Education after an error by the county registrar of voters' office put the outcome into dispute, an Alameda County Superior Court judge said at a hearing Friday.   

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors plans to request the registrar’s office hold a recount in four races, including the Oakland mayor's race.

Nick Resnick and Mike Hutchinson have both lawyered up claiming an Oakland Unified School District board seat, with inauguration scheduled for Monday.

A stunning twist in the Oakland School Board race. Mike Hutchinson – who thought he lost his race in District 4 - actually won. The Alameda County Registrar of Voters revealed an error in the tabulation process that would have moved Hutchinson from third place to first.
