Foster 41, Kriseman 39, Ford 19. Stop the Lens 63, proceed with Lens 37.

About 1000 vote difference between Foster and Kriseman. I would expect Kriseman to pick up most of Ford's votes in the runoff, since they represent a rejection of incumbant Foster.
I'm surprised the anti-Lens tally was so high. Its also surprising in that it was the central theme in Ford's campaign, yet voters overwhelmingly rejected her. I guess they remember all to well her divisiveness as a City Council member.
