One of the more contested races in the June primary was the SD-40 race between Juan Vargas and Mary Salas.  This is one of those clear-cut decisions for progressives. Vargas is wishy washy on all of our issues, got the bulk of his support from corporate interests, and wasn’t there for the LGBT community when it came time for a vote on marriage equality.

On election day, it looked like Salas was going to take the race. Now, well, things are different…and confusing.

Updated results from San Diego County this afternoon gave Vargas a six-vote edge district wide. According to totals reported by all three counties in the district, Vargas leads with 24,079 votes to Salas’ 24,073. San Diego County has roughly 750 ballots to count countywide, though not all of those will be from this district or race. (CapAlert)

Oh, and there are 12,500 votes up in the air, so this is far from over.

We’ll keep you updated, as this is going to go on for a while…
