1. Wow, that was a close one.

Good news.

[Celerity]

3. the counting is not done (I do think we win it though) so it is not officially flipped yet

[usregimechange]

5. Thank you, yes not flipped in terms of official result but

In terms of the count.

[Celerity]

7. yes

[mountain grammy]

2. Wow a hundred votes

Will there be a recount?

[Celerity]

4. the counting is not done yet (I do think we win it) but it will probably be so close a recount happens for sure I wager

[mountain grammy]

13. Great news.

[iluvtennis]

6. Wow, 105 vote win. Looks like a little more vote to count though. n/t

8. Info on the 13th ...

from Wikipedia:

The new 13th district includes all of Merced County; most of the population of Madera County; and parts of Stanislaus, Fresno, and San Joaquin Counties. It includes the cities of Merced, Madera, Ceres, Patterson, Lathrop, Chowchilla, Atwater, Coalinga, and Mendota; as well as the southern parts of both Modesto and Turlock.

The new 13th district is considered a Democratic-leaning swing district. Despite that, John Duarte, Republican, was narrowly elected to represent it in 2022. As a result, it was one of 18 districts that would have voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election had they existed in their current configuration but were won or held by a Republican in 2022.

Wow!

[proud patriot]

9. thanks was wondering where

[paleotn]

10. Close but a win is a win. Let's hope it holds.

[soldierant]

11. I immediately thought of Adam Grey

since he was the only one I knew was still being counted..

How far south dies that district go?
If it includes any part of Santa Clara County, it may include the house I gew up in. It had a higher district number than, and irt always went Republican.

[JoseBalow]

12. No it hasn't.

Not yet. You're jumping the gun, it hasn't been called...

15. Yet.

[JoseBalow]

17. Yup, that's what I said

Not yet.

[ColinC]

18. Yes yet. It's done. Gray wins.

[JoseBalow]

19. Yes, yet.

Yet.

[ColinC]

16. With the final votes reported, Gray expanded his lead by 73 votes.

The only omway thus changes is if a recount flies the race. That ain't happening with this much of a difference.

[calimary]

14. Every little bit!

Cuz all those little bits add up!

[cally]

20. Hooray

This is the district I volunteered last weekend curing ballots. Adam Grey spoke and he was encouraging, funny, and thought he would win. :hooray:

[Rebl2]

21. Do you think

there will be a recount?

[Lulu KC]

22. Relief

Merced County went red for president, so I was on edge.

[usregimechange]

23. It's likely Dems will gain a seat in the house this election.

As of November 2024, the current party composition in the House of Representatives is:
• Republicans: 222 seats
• Democrats: 213 seats

Hypothetical scenario (if Democrats gain a single seat):

• Republicans: 221 seats
• Democrats: 214 seats

In this hypothetical situation, Republicans would still maintain a slim majority, but the margin would be narrower. Esp with some republican retirements.

[Wiz Imp]

27. Your numbers are wrong

The current makeup is (R) 220 & (D) 213 with 2 vacancies

The makeup when the new Congress is seated in January will be (R) 219 & (D) 215 Democrats with 1 vacancy. (Matt Gaetz has already stated he will not take the seat he won and a special election has already been scheduled for it)

This assumes that the Democrats win in CA13 & CA45, the last 2 races not yet official (These both appear to be done deals, though). Also assumes that no results will be changed due to recounts or other reasons. (Highly unlikely any changes happen.)

2 Other Republican House members have been nominated for Cabinet positions. If they are approved, it will take it down to (R) 217 & (D) 215 (at least temporarily until special elections are held).

25. I just watched Brian Tyler Cohen's update

on this race. Awesome! 💙💙💙✅

[WarGamer]

26. 13 and 45 are two VERY NICE wins...

[Upthevibe]

28. Kick. N/T

[cally]

29. still many ballots to "cure"

On Saturday, I heard 29,000 rejected ballots rejected. Both Republicans and Democrats trying to correct the votes for their voters. They have until December 5. Way too close to call yet.

But super excited with Current lead.

[City Lights]

30. Every vote counts!

Cheers to flipping another one from red to blue! Blue is the best color!

[Initech]

31. Thank you CA-13!

[James48]

32. Count every vote:

Because every vote matters.

[Blue Owl]

33. I bet if the swing state votes were recounted, we'd find that Walz/Harris won

[Dem4life1234]

34. I have that hunch, too!

Cause where did those Biden votes from last time go?

I refuse to believe this jackass had more votes. I simply will not believe that!
