CA-AG: Cooley Pulls Ahead Of Harris In Latest Vote Tally

With the vote totals updated on Friday afternoon, Republican Steve Cooley has pulled ahead of Kamala Harris for the first time in the post-election day tallies and currently leads by 22,817 votes.

Steve Cooley (Rep)     3,518,918 46.0%
Kamala D. Harris (Dem)     3,496,101 45.7%
Diane Beall Templin (AI)    133,186 1.7%
Peter Allen (Grn)     195,921 2.5%
Timothy J. Hannan (Lib)     192,018 2.5%
Robert J. Evans (P&F)     123,197 1.6%

Hopefully this does not include a large percentage of Los Angeles County ballots or else things would look  very bad indeed for Ms. Harris to become the next Attorney General of California.

With estimates of more than 2 million outstanding ballots to be counted and Cooley's campaign claiming there are more outstanding ballots in the 40 counties he won than the 18 Harris carried this result is really too close to call. With that many ballots, one probably has to give the edge to Cooley.
