The Abridged version:
The latest election results added modest gains for some local front-runners, while leaving other races too close to call headed into the weekend.
Races to represent swaths of the Sacramento region in Congress have been called, with the top candidates for the 6th and 7th congressional districts advancing to the November election.
But a number of local races remain undecided, including one in Davis, in which the margin separating the two sides of the Village Farms housing debate continues to narrow.
Here’s where the remaining races stand as of late Friday afternoon.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, recast as an independent, and former state Sen. Richard Pan advanced to the November election to represent California’s 6th Congressional District.
Kiley, who opted to run for a new district after Proposition 50 reshaped political lines in favor of Democrats, led the crowded field of candidates with 46,000 votes, nearly a quarter of the total counted as of Friday.
But he may face an uphill battle against Pan, who outgained the next closest Democrat in the race by more than 20,000 votes. Michael Stansfield, the lone Republican in the running, finished third.
Outside of the top three candidates, more than 30% of the total vote was split among other Democratic candidates, indicating potential votes for Pan when he is the only Democrat in the race come November.
Flojaune Cofer held her lead in the race for a seat on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, according to the latest results Friday.
Cofer leads Eric Guerra, a Sacramento City Council member who gained an endorsement from the incumbent who is not running for reelection.
Winning more than half of the total vote would clinch the race for either candidate. Should neither pass the 50% threshold, both would compete head-to-head in the November election.
Sitting members of the Sacramento City Council have led their races for reelection throughout the vote-counting process, which held true with the latest update Friday.
The tightest of the four races is between Councilmember Lisa Kaplan and Jennifer Chewla, although Kaplan, with 52.7% of the vote, continues to carry the majority needed to win outright.
Councilmember Rick Jennings (56.8%) and Caity Maple (68.2%) are each leading by a comfortable margin.
Councilmember Karina Talamantes, who ran unopposed, will secure another term.
The winner of each of the two Sacramento County Office of Education board seats up for election will face an eventful summer of decision-making when the terms begin July 1.
Dominique Donette continues to build her lead, expanding from a narrow margin after election night to more than 4,600 votes as of Friday.
For the other seat, Annie Fischer clung to her lead over incumbent Paul Keefer, slightly expanding her edge but leading by only 131 votes.
The opposition to Measure V, which would approve the Village Farms housing development in Davis, has maintained a lead since the first ballots were counted. But those in favor of the project narrowed the margin and trailed by only 270 votes as of the latest results Friday.
If approved, developers would add up to 1,800 homes in Davis. Detractors have cited environmental and traffic concerns while questioning the affordable housing part of the plan. Supporters leaned on the need for more housing and the added benefit of boosting school enrollment.
Dotty Pritchard, a longtime employee of the Yolo County supervisors district she seeks to lead, stayed ahead of her opponents in the latest vote county.
Pritchard, with 39.8% of the vote, led Mayra Vega (32.4%) and Xochitl Rodriguez (27.8%) as of late Friday afternoon.
A candidate who wins more than 50% of the vote would win the seat outright, otherwise the top two vote-getters will face each other in the November election.
