With my home county of Butte reporting the last of the provisional and mail-in ballots for the 4th Congressional District, Senator Tom McClintock has netted 1070 votes of the 1944 that were remaining to count in the Butte portion of CD 4, a plus of 196 to his 9 county total. This should bring his winning margin to 1772, [of about 369,000 total cast]. So, with official certification due in all counties next Tuesday, here’s an even more ‘almost officially’ congrats to Tom!
[Butte still remained a ‘blue’ county for Obama by 2300 or so votes and even a ‘blue’ county by 87 votes in the 2nd CD.]
