More than a week after the elections, we still have some outstanding races, but the field is beginning to narrow. On Monday, we learned Washington-2 was lost to Rick Larsen by 2%. Tuesday, Virginia-11, a northern area of Virginia and one of only two blue areas, was also lost by less than a 1,000 votes to Gerry Connolly.
Now, we see our chances in California-11 grow dim. Jerry McNerney, the current California Democratic Representative, has more than quadrupled his lead over Republican David Harmer.
McNerney led by 2,269 votes Wednesday after Alameda County reported its results. He had been ahead by just 441 votes in the 11th District race on Tuesday. Harmer has started raising money for a potential recount. Both candidates are still waiting on absentee tallies from Contra Costa County and San Joaquin County. Those returns are expected by the end of the week.
