CA: Republican AG Candidate’s Lead Grows

From DailyNews:

Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley holds a 43,212-vote lead over San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris in the race for attorney general entering today’s count of vote by mail, provisional and damaged ballots.

Cooley, a Republican, added 2,254 votes to his lead over Harris, a Democrat, in the updated count released Tuesday by the Secretary of State’s Office. He began the day leading by 40,958 votes.

Cooley has 3,875,037 votes, 46.1 percent, to 3,831,825 for Harris, 45.5 percent.

When polls closed Nov. 2, Cooley declared victory, but by early Nov. 3, Harris led by almost 15,000 votes. However, with thousands of ballots remaining to be counted, the race was too close to call.

Under state law, county registrars of voters must complete the vote counting by Nov. 30 and provide their counts to the Secretary of State’s Office by Dec. 3.
