SAN DIEGO—The margin remained razor-thin Friday on a ballot measure to raise the city’s sales tax for $400 million in infrastructure funding, but voters appeared to have turned it down.

As of Friday, the “No” votes led by over 7,000—a margin of a little more than 1.5 percent—with the lead growing slightly since the last count.
