SAN DIEGO—County Measure G—a proposed half-cent sales tax to fund transit projects, road and highway repairs and transportation maintenance—is still being narrowly defeated as vote-counting continued, with “no” votes at 51.4 percent compared to 48.6 percent in favor.

According to the county Registrar of Voters, the “no” votes stood at 595,244, while the “yes” votes were at 562,264 following the most recent update. The margin has shrunk since election night and the race remained too close to call, with ballots still left to be processed in the county.
