Over a week after the election, California Attorney General race is still too close to call. And in the latest turn of events, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has taken an ever-so-slight lead over Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, moving ahead by 3,609 votes -- just a fraction of one percent of all votes cast: Harris takes slim lead over Cooley in attorney general race.
Crazy, considering that Harris was actually down by 15,000 votes just earlier today. So don't expect anybody calling a winner in this race any time soon. With the numbers this close, it seems that every vote really does matter. Stay tuned, I guess. More here: Kamala Harris Retakes Razor-Thin Lead Over Steve Cooley.
As of 7:30 p.m. Friday, Harris had 4,131,847 votes compared with 4,128,238 for Cooley, according to a Times review of website updates by all 58 counties.
The secretary of state reported late Friday that Harris was leading by about 5,500 votes, but its count lagged more than 150,000 votes behind the most recent figures provided by each county.
Both campaigns said the lead would probably trade hands in future days as more votes are counted across the state.
