Desert Hot Springs City Council race separated by six votes

A razor-thin margin of vote separates the two candidates for a city council seat in Desert, Hot Springs.

As of Thursday, just six votes is all that stands between incumbent Roger Nuñez and challenger, Daniel Pitts. With more ballots expected to be counted tonight the number of votes separating the two candidates in Desert Hot Springs is sure to change.

However, the question of when a winner will be officially declared looms, especially as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, and many government officials will soon be on break.
