The Republican nominee ,the LA County DA, has regained the lead. Maybe California won’t be a total loss.

Republican Steve Cooley, Leo, leads democrat Kamala Harris by about 41,000 votes...

Who cares about his Zodiac sign?

The reason for our disastrous showing in California for the GOP can be attributed to one thing... Ah-nold. Just imagine if he had been the Conservative he acted like he was gonna be (for which yours truly knew was a giant steaming load from the get-go). Shouldn’t be surprised at all at the wipeout.

There’s a lot at stake here. The AG is very powerful and can have enormous consequences on the people. Think of Harris as 10x worse than Holder.

Weeks to decide this thing? It takes that long to run votes off a copier? Where do the Dims recruit their ‘talent’?

The typical voting pattern in statewide California races is that the Democrat starts the evening close to the Republican, but then steadily pulls away as the votes come in. Subsequent late absentee votes and provisional ballots tend to pad the Democrat's lead in the days following the election.

So this is rather unusual. Near the end of November 2nd, Cooley had given up his early lead and slipped behind Harris by about 40 thousand votes, so I figured it was all over. Now this article says that he has regained the lead by 41 thousand votes. Furthermore, today's update from the Secretary of State's office shows Cooley's lead is now up to 51,439.

Not only is the trend in Cooley's favor, but a 51 thousand vote margin will be difficult to overcome.

I had hopes for Cooley precisely because he was “well known” in L.A. I’m glad to see he’s still in the hunt.

Harris has pulled to within 9000 votes of Cooley.
