\"SF<\/a>Betty Yee holds 2nd place (barely) as counting continues<\/i><\/p>\n

by Brian Leubitz<\/p>\n

Counties across California are making progress on the unprocessed ballots. For most races, this isn’t really a big deal. However, in the Controller’s race, where the 2nd place result is likely to be determined by a few thousand votes at most, every vote is critical. Here’s the situation as of 10AM today:<\/p>\n

\"LA<\/a>Swearingen: 870,625
\n
Yee: 758,401
\n
P\u00e9rez: 757,328
\n
Evans: 752,556<\/p>\n

Evans is falling behind a little bit, which is a very comforting sign for all the Democrats out there worried about a 2 Republican race. (Like, umm, me.<\/a>) But with 791,885 unprocessed ballots, including over 148K in Los Angeles County alone, there is a lot of uncertainty left. You can check the most recent unprocessed ballots report here<\/a>. The most recent report at the time of writing this is from last evening.<\/p>\n

Counties have a little less than a month to certify their results to the Secretary of State, so a bit of patience is required. Not necessarily easy though.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>: John P\u00e9rez has now taken a small lead (1123 votes) as of Wednesday morning as a big batch of LA ballots came in. The total unprocessed votes now stands at 328,576.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2<\/b>: Yee took the 2nd place spot back this afternoon. She now leads by 2,820 over P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
