Here’s how the Bay Area voted in California's primary for governor

OAKLAND, Calif. - The race for California governor is far from over, and thousands of votes from across the state have yet to be recorded.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press indicated that six of the nine Bay Area counties had counted less than 50% of the votes that were cast by their community members in Tuesday's primary election.

Still, three candidates have emerged with clear leads, and the returns seen thus far paint a picture of how those counties voted.
