As of Wednesday, Barger took in 134,244 votes, racking up 59.37 percent of the total votes counted thus far.

This result follows a decades-long trend, as no incumbent county supervisor has been voted out of office since 1980.

The final tally is expected to change as mail-in ballots are counted over the next several weeks.
