10:10 p.m. City Paper’s Isaiah Thompson is at the Maria Quinones-Sanchez party in the Seventh, where he says Sanchez is gearing up for a speech that sounds like her supporters think she’s won. Meanwhile, numbers from the Sixth District show a strong 65 percent lead by Bobby Henon, but that none of the precincts have been counted.
10 p.m. Mark Squilla, Darrell Clarke and Curtis Jones secure their spots in the First, Fifth and Fourth districts.
9:20 p.m. Cindy Bass has an early lead in the Eighth, with 48 percent of the vote over the other seven candidates. And it wouldn’t be election day without some disputes. Our reporters in the district say cops were called to an argument outside Bass’ party.
