Latest CA Governor results from my local TV station

According to ABC7, the race has tightened with Hiltons at 28 percent, Becerra at 26 percent and Steyer up to twenty percent now. There is less than a hundred thousand votes separating Hilton and Becerra, and obviously if you add the two top Dems together you get more than enough to beat Hilton. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the percentage of votes that have been counted, but these numbers are slightly different than yesterday with Steyer increasing his share of the total votes.

I noticed that Swalwell still appeared on the ballot and has received one percent of the vote so far.

1. The NYT has slightly more precise numbers rather than rounding

They have Hilton at 27.5, Bercerra at 25.6 and Steyer at 19.8. Some of the tightening was that Bercerra and Steyer moved up enough that they were rounded up. Hilton has been going down and the Democrats up, but not that much as the additional votes were much smaller than those counted on election day.

These numbers are 56 percent and the last update was 1:35 ET.

2. I wouldn't worry one bit.

As long as there's a Democrat on the general election ballot, you know who will win in California.

It won't even be close. I;m not sure why everyone is so bent out of shape over this. Democrats will vote for the Democrat and you'll have a Democratic Governor. Not to worry.

3. Not sure who is bent out of shape

but I agree that we are in a good position.

4. There were a few posters who said they were concerned/worried

Don't know why cause this should be a fairly easy Democratic win

7. The thing is that there are plenty of races in California

that are not sure things. In other states as well. By spending so much time poking around races that have a known outcome, we're not paying attention to the ones who could use help. The CA Governor's race is not in question, nor is it even competitive. Once it was clear that a Democrat would appear on the general election ballot, that election result was known.

If you're interested in California elections, take a look at the rest of them. You'll see that not all are at all decided.

But, nobody's going to post about those here. Not even me. I don't live or vote in California any longer.

We have a very interesting State Senate race in my district, though, that could go either way. There's a good shot to flip the seat. That's the one I'm working on. My wife and I have been supporting the Democratic candidate since we helped her win her first legislative election, replacing a Republican. That's where change is made.

But the California Governor's race? That one's over now.

5. I read that Becerra will beat Hilton handily.

Good.

6. Seriously? You do know Hilton never had a chance to win the election, right?

Only question ever was whether he would make it to second round.

8. Those are the same numbers we've had -- no more votes have been added yet, they just rounded numbers up and down

However, get this:

Hilton is at 27.6, but they made him 28% in most Media

Becerra is at 25.6, but most media has him at 25%.

Yet the media rounds Hilton up and Becerra down, making it seem like Hilton is "up" 3%.

Steyer is at 19.8.
