As ballot-counting continues, Democrats have extended their lead in seven out of 10 undecided House races.
Democrats gained ground in two undecided House races in Orange County, California, raising the possibility of a Democratic sweep of four closely contested congressional races in the one-time Republican stronghold.
In the 45th District in Orange County, Democrat Katie Porter jumped into a 261-vote lead over Republican Rep Mimi Walters, after trailing the incumbent since Election Day.
And in the 39th District, anchored in Orange County, Democrat Gil Cisneros tightened the gap with Republican Young Kim.
Earlier, Democrats claimed the seats of Republican Reps Dana Rohrabacher in the county's 48th District and retiring Darrell Issa in the 49th District, which cuts through the southern end of the county.
First-time candidate Josh Harder also defeated four-term Republican US Rep Jeff Denham Tuesday in California's farm belt, giving Democrats their fourth pickup of a GOP House seat in California.
Harder, 32, a venture capitalist, had anchored his campaign to Denham's vote against the Affordable Care Act, while arguing that he would push for universal health care in Congress.
He also argued that Denham and other Washington Republicans ignored poverty and health care in the agricultural 10th District in California's Central Valley.
'Washington is broken because our leaders have put party over country. I pledge that I will always put this community before anything in Washington,' Harder said in a statement.

From a random statistical perspective this is very unlikely.
We're witnessing the House be stolen in front of our very eyes.
Why are elections still going on 8 days later?
I thought elections had to be decided within a certain time frame.
What kind of insanity is this?
Don’t swear in anybody.
Anybody where this is going on.
I assume there is some swearing in process for new house and senate members.
Just don’t.
Let a crisis come.
Heck, it already has.
Trump can veto everything they pass. They will need a two thirds majority to override the veto. They can waste tax money investigating everything under the sun, but they still have to deal with veto power.
The Dems are overplaying their hands. IMHO, this will blow up against them in 2020.
EACH OF US NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH OUR STATE AND LOCAL POLITICIANS!!!
I hope everyone that cheats voters has a short life expectancy. I consider such people to be a threat to our nation. I certainly don’t wish them well.
cheating unchecked continues
and is, and has been ,encouraged.
VOTE TILL YOU WIN!!
When does the shooting start, and, if not, why not?
This is more fun than playing video games.
I feel like I’m watching Rome burn.
The cops should do the collecting and transfer of ballots. They’ll be so busy on election night that everyone at home will be packin’.
Much of this is happening in CA. where I live, what in the HELL good does it do when you are filing complaints to Dems, the few PUBBIES we had have now been stolen from us!!!

It looks like @SenBillNelson is cutting out the middle man and letting @ChuckSchumer speak directly for him. Chuck - we won’t let DC lawyers and NY senators steal this election from the people of Florida.
Looks likeScott was part of the problem. 8 years to deal with fraud and now it’s coming back to bite him. Already cost the Ag. Commissioners job.
Voter fraud is treason and should be a capital offense.
Yep. These people should be executed.
It's still got to get past the Senate in order for Trump to veto anything.
I keep thinking of the subtitle of “Dr. Strangelove”: “How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.”
I so much now see this world as The Matrix or virtual reality that it’s hard for me to really take this stuff seriously any more. It’s like I’m a visitor from the future and I know how this plays out so I’m watching it sort of as a living history lesson and see it as highly instructional regarding God’s perspective on the fate of man and all our attempts at government.
None of them are permanent. Not one. What matters is pursuing God and a relationship with him as well as, within that context, a relationship with those you personally know. This stuff will all take care of itself insomuch as God will take care of it.
i.e. the REAL answer to all this nonsense is prayer. God has been way too faithful in my life for me to worry about this stuff. He’s got it. I’m good with that.
And this life is a mist.
And don’t forget, the Senate is Republican controlled.
well, sorta, I guess ...
