In the down-to-the-wire election for California Attorney General ,
Kamala Harris's slim lead over Steve Cooley has been significantly reduced to 9,364 (out of over 7 million total) as numbers come in around the state, although the campaign is still expressing confidence since there are nearly one million outstanding ballots, most of which were cast within the last few days of the election when Harris was clearly leading. (In order to have a lead now, Harris must have received more votes on Election Day itself, and historically absentee and provisional votes follow the pattern of election day ballots.)
The latest tally is:
| Candidate | Votes | Percent |
|---|
| Kamala D. Harris (Dem) | 3,307,599 | 45.9% |
| Steve Cooley (Rep) | 3,298,235 | 45.8% |
| Diane Beall Templin (AI) | 125,507 | 1.7% |
| Peter Allen (Grn) | 185,729 | 2.5% |
| Timothy J. Hannan (Lib) | 180,682 | 2.5% |
| Robert J. Evans (P&F) | 117,303 | 1.6% |
I am still relatively confident that Harris will win, but it's gnna be a squeaker. It may even involve a recount!
