Republican Johnny Tacherra is in Washington, D.C. at the orientation for new members of Congress, but he’s no longer in the lead for the 16th Congressional District seat.
Fresno County updated its vote count Wednesday afternoon, and incumbent Fresno Democrat Jim Costa — behind in his reelection bid since election night more than a week ago — took a slim, 86-vote lead over Tacherra.

2,200 provisional ballots remaining in Merced and Madera County which Tacherra has been winning by about 60% to 40%. Unknown number remaining in Fresno County which Costa has been winning by 60% to 40%. Looks like they will have to do a recount.
Bs!
Democrat vote stealing operation in full motion.
I wonder if my mother voted in this election? She died in April.

This is why Democrats never concede close elections, they also have the corruption working.
Rats steal another one
lol, unlikely. Tacherra is a man in the mold of Tim Donnelly, not Neil Kashkari. He’s getting nothing from the GOP elite
Whose car did the democrats find those missing votes in?
Democrats: Keep counting ‘til you win. Works every time.
She voted early and at the polls for Jim Costa (D). BTW she looks much better than expected, quite young and more ethnic than you may remember.
Costa has said he is confident he will be returning to Washington. I’ll just bet he is.
What are the odds.
From what I’ve read so far Johnny Tacherra is the real thing. A farmer who tried to reason with Costa and found out he could care less about his constituents. Just another RAT mob member. So he decided to run himself. Ran the whole campaign without any help from outside. No wonder the RATS want to steal it from him, he’s a real threat.
“....While the Fresno City Council and judge’s races seem all but over, the Costa-Tacherra contest will have to wait for further vote counting.
Headed into Wednesday, Tacherra had a 741-vote lead, but the Fresno County update added 1,708 votes to Costa’s total. Tacherra added just 881 votes. The difference pushed Costa from the 741-vote deficit to the 86-vote lead.
Both Merced and Madera County officials have said they will not update their count again until they finish tallying their remaining provisional ballots, which will likely be Friday or early next week. In Merced County, 1,505 provisional ballots remain to be counted, and in Madera County, it is 722. In Fresno County, it is unknown how many of the 600 remaining mail ballots and 10,100 provisional ballots are from the 16th Congressional District.
Tuesday’s update showed yet again that Fresno County is Costa’s political heart. He is winning more than 63% of the Fresno County vote. Tacherra is winning around two-thirds of Madera County’s vote, and 55% of the Merced County vote. If the current voting trends hold, a narrow Costa victory is likely, political watchers said.
Fresno County will next update on Friday afternoon......”
Oh crap!
