| Description | Reaping an anticipated boost from provisional ballots in Santa Barbara County, Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson this week cut nearly in half Republican Tony Strickland's lead in the still-undecided election contest in the 19th Senate District.
Strickland leads by 1,298 votes, down from more than 2,400 earlier in the week.
Although Jackson has closed the gap, nearly all the ballots in her home county, Democratic-leaning Santa Barbara County, have now been tallied. Strickland will hold on to win unless the approximately 14,000 provisional ballots yet to be counted in Ventura County have a strong Democratic tilt. |
