As results poured in on a rainy Election Night in Santa Barbara County, it became clear that the balance of power — at least locally — would remain with the Democratic Party, with nearly all of the candidates endorsed by the party winning their races.
Timbers Restaurant, on the western outer reaches of Goleta, was packed with the Democratic faithful on Election Night, and the back room was flowing with celebratory drinks as the first round of projected numbers were released showing a near sweep for the party.
On Wednesday morning, semi-official results showed much of the same.
