Early absentee returns show Superior Court Judge Jan Goldsmith is leading tonight over incumbent City Attorney Michael Aguirre. With 16 percent of the absentee ballots counted, Goldsmith has 31 percent of the vote and Aguirre has 28 percent, according to the Registrar of Voters.
If none of the candidates gets 50 percent-plus-one of the votes, a runoff will be held on Nov. 4.
