With the stack of ballots left to count sharply diminished, San Francisco Dist. Atty. Kamala Harris continued to hold a steady lead Tuesday in the race for attorney general, making victory over Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley all but assured.
Harris, the Democrat, led the Republican nominee by nearly 53,000 votes — 4,385,438 to 4,332,596 — according to a Times review of updated vote tallies in all 58 counties. Although the gap remains narrow in one of the closest statewide races in California history, the chance for Cooley to pick up enough votes to make up the difference appears increasingly remote.
The secretary of state reported late Tuesday that there were 154,806 ballots left uncounted statewide. To win, Cooley would need more than two-thirds of those to overtake the Democratic nominee. So far, the gap between the candidates has been less than a single percentage point. Moreover, about two-thirds of the remaining votes are in counties that Harris carried, including Contra Costa, Monterey and Sonoma.
"It's over," said Bob Mulholland, a longtime Democratic Party strategist. "Cooley, if he was professional enough, would call Harris before she cuts her turkey on Thursday."
But Allan Hoffenblum, a former GOP consultant, urged caution until the last votes are tallied. He said the winner may not be formally known for some time if one of the candidates seeks a recount, an expensive proposition that the candidate would have to pay for.
"I think it's one of these cases where it's not over until it's over," said Hoffenblum, who publishes the nonpartisan California Target Book, which analyzes political races.
Neither campaign released a statement Tuesday. Cooley had claimed victory on election night, only to discover the next morning that he was behind. The lead has gone back and forth since...

Why just the other day I heard that at least some of the people who voted for Harris were actually NOT illegal aliens, or dead.
Viva Aztlán, baby!
You got that right.
I actually had hope Cooley had a chance in this one with some post-Election Day numbers coming out...
Stoooooopid me (smacking forehead). It’s Mexifornia.
Cali conservatives... escape from there while you can. You'll be glad you did!
Forget it, Cooley. You fought the good fight, but if you're relying on votes from THOSE counties, it's over.

Thanks americanophile.
If Harris gets the seat, she’ll do great damage to RKBA issues. She’ll be a legal advocate against business interests, for envirowhacko’s and against personal freedoms.
Not good. Socialists own Kalifornia.
CA has been gone for a long time. This is just the final nail in the coffin. Will the last conservative leaving the State please turn out the lights.
Someone said they saw Geo Soros deliver a dumpster load of Dem votes over the weekend...
Don’t worry about the lights. There will be no electricity to run them as the marxist get every dam in Calif removed...
Even Martha Stewart might say:”This is NOT a good thing!!!”

Total shutout. Zero gains. Pathetic.
“The door’s wide open now!” Newsom declares. “It’s gonna happen now whether you like it or not!”
Cooley concedes:

Evidently that’s what the voters want so let them accept the consequences for it.
Gangbangers will love her.. God help the rest of us.
and all those Death Row inmates, They can Rest easy.. she ain’t in a hurry to carry out the law anytime soon. She didn’t in San FRan.. why start now?
She will fit right in with the Moonbeam II administration. Let the Dems get all the credit when Kalifornia goes completely belly up in the next couple of years.
