Rep. Mia Love jumps ahead of Ben McAdams by 419 votes after updates from Utah, Salt Lake counties

Two-term Republican Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, is winning the 4th Congressional District for the first time since Election Day after an updated vote count in Utah County pushed her narrowly over Democratic challenger and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams.

Love is currently ahead by 419 votes, reversing Thursday’s 1,002-vote lead for McAdams, who has spent the past week in Washington going to House orientation meetings and appearing in the freshman class photo with new lawmakers from across the country.

...

McAdams had briefly expanded his lead Friday after Salt Lake County updated its vote totals. But those gains were eroded by Utah County, where Love lives and is the heavy favorite. She resides in Saratoga Springs.

...

Thousands of provisional ballots remain uncounted in the district ahead of both counties' official canvass Tuesday. The 0.16 percent spread as of Friday afternoon was within the margin for a recount, which in Utah is 0.25 percent.

The race is one of six U.S. House seats that remain undecided,

If McAdams can hold out for another few days, there are 10,000 more votes marching up through Mexico. I’m sure the dems will meet them with provisional ballots as soon as they reach U.S. soil and say “asylum,” which in English means, “I’m a straight Democrat voter.”

“No love from Mia Love”. A Trump hater which in my mind equals GOPe. Close kissing cousin to a dem.

Yeah. After all the hsit they've pulled this election, they consider Mia Love a throwaway that they'll let the other side have just to obfuscate their treachery.

Mia will be easy to keep in check, after all, with the help of their good buddy Milt Romley.

Shortly after the election, the President read off a list of Republicans who had spurned his help in their campaigns and then went on to lose.

"Mia Love, she gave me no love. Sorry Mia."

It was pretty funny.

She's damaged goods if she wins but it's good to keep three seat.

To clarify, in this case McAdams would be the "throwaway".

Mia is the beneficiary.

Okay, maybe she's back in. That's fine, but don't trust her.

She's more loyal to Bishop Milt than she is to POTUS.

Our elections have turned into a horse race. I think the elections boards across the country should not report any election results until all the ballots are counted. Enough of this nonsense.....

Mormons used to say blacks were damned. That changed in the 1970s.

Now, anyone can join their cult.

They want to change the narrative that all close elections go to the Dems, which suggests fraud. I’m not really sure we want to hold this seat.

She’s strongly against abortion and supports the 2A.

I hope she wins.
