- Approximately 500 ballots remain to be counted, but officials do not expect to update results until Friday, and Giudici is widely expected to secure the victory.
- Giudici died after falling while campaigning on August 30, but his campaign continued despite his passing.
- Calaveras County, with 47,000 residents, traditionally votes Republican in presidential elections, though local supervisor races are nonpartisan and often influenced by grassroots efforts and negative campaigning.
