Holding Steady At 1,200…
Our lead has held steady at 1,248 votes out of 334,320 now counted, or 0.37 percent. This gives us 50.19 percent of the counted vote and means that we need 48.18 of the remaining 34,000 uncounted ballots.
We lost 468 votes from Nevada County today while gaining 80 from Sacramento County and 353 from El Dorado County for a net loss of 35. We continue to run stronger in the late vote than the election day vote in ALL counties. We estimate that there are now fewer than 5,000 ballots remaining to be counted in counties that Brown carried and 29,000 remaining to be counted in counties that we carried.
Many thanks once again to all those who have volunteered their time to serve as election observers and who have contributed to support our legal team. The growing sense of confidence in the outcome of this count is directly because of your help.
