Taylor 51.2% 24,347 votes
Lee 48.8% 23,229 votesLooks like the tiny percentage from RCV eliminations was split evenly between Taylor and Lee.
The article doesn’t give the source(s) of any additional votes that remain to be counted.

Oakland uses ranked-choice voting, which means if a candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, that candidate wins. If not, the last-place candidate is eliminated, and voters who selected that candidate have their votes counted for their next choice — a cycle that repeats until a candidate gets a majority.
