The camp of Republican congressional candidate Tom McClintock is confident the Thousand Oaks state senator will be the next congressman in the Fourth Congressional District, according to their analysis of ballots remaining to be counted.
As of Wednesday morning, McClintock held a 592-vote lead in the contest.
Here's the McClintock's campaign analysis of the latest numbers:
The latest batch from Nevada County dropped us by 60 votes, partially offset by a 30-vote gain out of El Dorado County, leaving us with a lead of 592 today. Nevada County is rapidly running out of ballots - we estimate it has roughly 1,000 yet to count. Everything else - approximately 25,000 more ballots -- are from counties that we are carrying.
Butte and Placer counties comprise 23,000 of those ballots and are expected to release their numbers in a single batch when they complete their full counts later this week or early next. In short, the fat lady hasn't begun singing yet, but she's on stage and appears to be wearing a McClintock button.
