In Arizona’s 2nd District, the Republican, retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally, saw her lead over Democratic Rep. Ron Barber diminish after officials counted more ballots Thursday. She leads Barber by a 363-vote margin, with about 17,000 ballots outstanding. That lead shrunk from the 1,293-vote margin McSally had after Election Day.
In California, six races remain uncalled. Each county has their own process to count ballots, and it could be at least a week before winnere are declared.
Republicans lead in two of those contests: •In the Sacramento-based 7th District, former Rep. Doug Ose leads Democratic Rep. Ami Bera by 2,183 votes, with many ballots still outstanding. That lead diminished Thursday, when he had a 3,011-vote lead. Around 40,000 votes remain to be counted.
•Little-known Republican Johnny Tacherra leads Democratic Rep. Jim Costa by 736 votes in the 16th District — a race not on the radar of any party operatives. It’s unclear whether there are enough outstanding votes for Costa to overcome that margin.
Democrats lead in the other four contests: •In the San Diego-based 52nd District, Democratic Rep. Scott Peters retook the lead from Republican Carl DeMaio after mail-in ballots came in Thursday. Peters now leads by 861 votes. That is a big swing from after Election Day, when DeMaio led Peters by a 752-vote margin. More votes are expected to come in Monday.
•In the 9th District, Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney leads Republican Tony Amador by a 2,360-vote margin in another unexpectedly close race.
•Democratic Rep. Michael M. Honda leads Democratic attorney Ro Khanna in the Silicon Valley-based 17th District by more than 4,000 votes — a widening lead giving Khanna a slim path to victory. Honda is slated to make an announcement about the race at 1 p.m. EST.

Lots of ballots from Democratic strongholds.
Liberalism in Californistan has something to do with the water there.
Dems can always find uncounted ballots in car trunks or storage rooms in the event of close races.
In two more undecided House races,
CA-26 ‘Rat freshman Julia Brownley still leads state Assemblyman Jeff Gorell by 530 votes, but a number of votes remain uncounted.
NY-25 Longtime ‘Rat Louise Slaughter leads Gates Mayor Mark Assini by 582 votes. She has declared victory. Much of upstate New York trended Republican this year.
I thought McSally was leading by thousands.
Absentee ballots come in late.
If its a close race, they can swing a result.
What water? We have none.
-PJ
We are in luck then since they seem to have ran out of water.
No doubt most late races will go to the Democrats as votes are magically found.
That peter puffer Carl DeMaio (R) is going to lose in CA-52. They are now counting the provisional ballots. DeMaio goes down in more than one way. No loss.
My question is why would anyone give a shit about California. The electoral college ballots should just be pre printed with 52 in the commie column and let them send whatever martians they want to the house and senate. It will never be anything more than the land of the loony left.
Then tell them to leave the rest of us alone. They bore us.
I live in California. Fox news called the California gubernatorial election for Jerry Brown about 10 seconds after the polls closed. Voting here is like voting in North Korea. Electoral outcomes are preordained.
The longer Democrats have to count the ballots and make new ones, the better their chances of winning.
There are some rising Republican stars in California. Newly elected state Senator Janet Nguyen of Santa Ana is one to watch.
This is a very deep Blue State.
Jerry Brown easily beat a RINO.
NO conservative is ever going to win in California again.
Ronald Reagan could not carry the state today.
Lady Slaughter, I’m ashamed to say, used to be my representative. Recall she was the one who was ready to “deem” Obamacare passed to avoid an up and down vote in the House.
85. She was born in 1929.
