19th Senate District Update: HBJ Gains Some Ground on Santa Barbara Votes

In my last post, I outlined what it would take for Hannah-Beth to win the 19th Senate District with the votes that are left to count. She would need over 60% of what is left in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties to win by one vote. An update from the County of Santa Barbara yesterday allowed her to gain ground with 63% of 1,648 votes. Unfortunately, some of this gain was erased by 353 votes which were counted in Los Angeles County where she only received 44% of the updated vote. She is now better off than the other day with a 1,721 vote deficit with the majority of votes to be counted in Ventura County next week.
