Election Day was over three weeks ago, and yet California is still counting votes. Arizona, as Katie covered earlier this week, just finished. While Republicans won enough seats to keep control of the House just under a week after the election, how narrow their majority will be remains to be seen, thanks to slow counting for House races out of California.
When it comes to California’s 13th Congressional District, Democrat Adam Gray currently leads Republican Rep. John Duarte. This is based on an update from Tuesday night, as highlighted by California Target Book’s Rob Pyers. Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman was even trying to offer that the race was “Still way too close to call,” and three weeks after Election Day.
That there is still only just an “Update,” prompted Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to chime in, pointing out that we’re actually on the eve of Thanksgiving and still don’t know the results. “Post-election day ballot ‘dumps’ continue to net Democrat votes over two GOP incumbents,” he posted, also calling the whole operation “a farce.”
Democrat Derek Tran just recently declared victory in California’s 45th Congressional District, against Republican Rep. Michelle Steel.
It won’t end until Trump drops to 49.9%. Then they can claim he has no mandate.
