Conchas still leads the only competitive council race in Glendale as of Friday night. At 6:31 p.m., 262 more Cactus District votes came in and bolstered his lead to 64 votes, at 2,145 to Hugh's 2,081.
A larger vote drop released at 6:47 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1 added to Conchas' cushion, boosting his vote total to 2,010, a 56-vote advantage over Hugh at 1,954.
