Our lead has again increased slightly today to 889 votes out of 313,609 now counted, giving us a margin of 28/100ths of one percent. There are now an estimated 57,000 votes yet to be processed. We are currently receiving 50.14 percent of the votes counted and need 49.22 percent of the remaining vote. In short, this is still too close to call, but I'd rather be me than the other guy.The only wrinkle in the count is that we still could lose as many as 1,500 votes out of Nevada County, but we are confident that this will be more than made up from the larger counties that I carried. If Nevada's numbers are reported first next week, don't be surprised if we temporarily slip into negative territory until the much larger counties of El Dorado and Placer report.
My sincere thanks to all of you who have contributed to help us maintain a legal presence as the ballots are being processed, and to all of you who volunteered their time to help as election observers. Our costs alone are more than $5,000 per day so your help is absolutely vital. Contributions can be made over our web site at www.helptom.com. And if you could volunteer a few hours to assist us as an election observer, please call our Roseville headquarters at 916-783-4411.
Your support and your prayers mean everything. THANK YOU.
Sincerely,
Tom McClintock
