Tom McClintock expected to win CA-4

According to the McClintock for Congress Website, Tom McClintock holds on to a lead of 1,793 votes with all but 4,100 votes left to be counted.  The McClintock Campaign has felt comfortable with their lead, but the campaign now says that victory is undoubtedly theirs and that it is only a matter of time.

I received this email from the McClintock For Congress Website on November 22nd:

Dear E-Team:

More than 4/5 of the uncounted ballots in this race were announced today, boosting our lead to 1,793 votes, or 0.49 percent. There are less than 4,100 ballots yet to be counted – all from counties that we carried with between 51 and 53 percent – and Charlie Brown would need to receive 71.9 percent of the remaining ballots to overtake our current lead.

We are told to expect the final tallies from the counties still outstanding to be announced by early next week, and I expect to be making a formal statement then. For now, I think we can safely say that the fat lady is singing – and she’s singing our song.

My sincere thanks to the hundreds of volunteers and donors whose time and resources made it possible to assure the fairness and accuracy of this vote. I will have more to say next week, but for now the most appropriate – though completely inadequate – words I can offer are THANK YOU.

That about wraps things up for the Brown-McClintock Race.

Stay tuned for more information on the Jackson-Strickland Race
