It was a sure bet that a Republican would win the state’s 12th Assembly District seat, but whether it would be former San Joaquin County Supervisor Ken Vogel or public office newcomer Heath Flora was decided Tuesday night as preliminary results were released, showing Flora with an early yet substantial lead. With the votes of 141 of 207 precincts in the Stanislaus County counted as of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, initial results showed Flora receiving 54.93 percent of the vote, while Vogel had received 45.07 percent. With 25,311 votes compared to Vogel’s 20,769, the inexperienced Flora’s lead came as a surprise against Vogel, who was a shoo-in for the ballot during the June primaries.
