(13,524 posts)7. From the link -
After a long election night with the GEC counting votes from 67 precincts, the people of Guam elect the team of Lou Leon Guerrero and Josh Tenorio as the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Guam. Pending approval, Leon Guerrero will be the first female Governor to serve in Adelup.
The total tally puts the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio team at 18,081 votes, a 50.70%, which meets the 50% plus 1 vote threshold needed to secure a win.
The Republican team of Ray Tenorio and Tony Ada fell short behind the democratic team, receiving 9,419 votes.
Looks like a DONE DEAL, elleng
