Impact analysis
Taxpayers could see indirect costs from court and election-administration work, and any follow-up like a special election or additional review could add more.
Voters and rule-following candidates benefit from clearer enforcement of election laws and, ideally, stronger trust in local results.
The convicted candidate and their supporters take the direct hit, while Arroyo Grande voters could be harmed indirectly if confidence in the election is shaken.
