Chris was the top vote-getter in the plebiscite, receiving a majority of the "qualified" votes cast for the three candidates for Office No. 5. He also received the highest proportion of voters naming him "qualified" of any of the twelve contesting candidates for judge or district attorney in at least the last two years.
