Vote Lead Changes

On June 21st, fifteen days after the Primary, Preston Picus pulled ahead of Bob Miller to face Nancy Pelosi in CD-12. On election night, with 100% of precincts reporting, Miller led Picus by 1,351 votes. A week later, on June 14th, that lead had slimmed to 472 votes. By that Friday, June 17th, Miller led Picus by mere 46 votes. As of June 21st, Pincus is ahead by 35 votes.

Congressional District 53
On June 14th, eight days after the Primary, James Veltmeyer finally gained a lead over Jim Ash in CD-53 by 126 votes. On election night, with 100% of precincts reporting, Ash led Veltmeyer by 127 votes. On June 10th, Veltmeyer trailed Ash by 126 votes. This grew to 143 votes by June 11th. As of June 14th, Veltmeyer leads by 296 votes. As of June 16th, Veltmeyer leads by 563 votes.

Congressional District 46
On June 13th, seven days after the Primary, Bao Nguyen pulled ahead of Bob Peterson, who had held the second-place position since election night. On election night, Peterson led Nguyen by 456 votes. On June 10th, Peterson’s lead had grown to 499. By June 11th, the lead had slimmed to 236. As of June 14th, Nguyen leads by 867 votes. As of June 15th, Nguyen leads by 1,096 votes.

Assembly District 68
On June 13th, seven days after the Primary, Steven S. Choi pulled ahead of Harry Sidhu in AD-68. On June 10th, Choi trailed Sidhu by 529. This grew to 608 on the 11th. As of June 14th, Choi leads by 49 votes. As of June 15th, Choi is ahead by 71 votes. As of June 15th, Choi is ahead by 150 votes.

 

JoinCalifornia has been updated to reflect these lead changes. As a reminder, during the 2010 Primary Election, Vargas took the lead 18 days after the election. In the 2012 General Election, Bill Berryhill led Cathleen Galgiani in the vote count for 15 days after the election, while Ron Smith led Steve Fox in the vote count for 27 days, only falling behind and eventually losing on December 2nd. After the 1980 General Election, Assemblyman Adrian C. Fondse led for 63 days (including a month of service in the Assembly), before the Assembly voted to accept a final vote count that put Patrick Johnston ahead.
