Cranston had been expected to carry Nevada County. The upset, if it could be called that, was Salinger's state-wide victory. The race had been termed a close one in advance throughout the state. In Nevada County Cranston got the edge 1900-1480. The Nevada County vote against the Sierra College tax hike was 5041-3553. Placer County voters, however, gavethe issue a favorable margin of nearly 2000 votes. The Republican write -in for Paul J. Lunardi fell short of reelecting him in the primary, but it did add to the largest local vote fora Democratic candidate. Lunardi, in sweeping to top spotin Nevada County asa Democratic candidate, got 4074 party votes, In addition, he received528 Republican write-ins.
