Overnight Update

I had to go to bed sometime!

OK, the districts for the most part have 100% of the vote in.  However, as we saw in February, there could be a lot of uncounted votes out there between late absentee ballots and provisionals, so not every race has been decided.  Here's what the AP has still outstanding:

Congress:

CA-02, Jeff Morris leads by just 259 votes over AJ Sekhon.

CA-41, Tim Prince leads by 970 votes over Rita Ramirez-Dean (that seems like enough of a cushion, but they haven't called it yet)

In the races decided overnight, Christina Avalos won CA-40's nomination, and Nick Leibham got the nod in CA-50.

Senate:

All the races have been called.  Rod Wright won the SD-25 race.

Assembly:

Still waiting on two races.  In AD-78, Marty Block holds a 397-vote lead on Maxine Sherard.  And in AD-80, I'm willing to say that Manuel Perez won, but the AP isn't yet.  Perez is up by 1,800-odd votes.

I'll have a post-mortem up later in the morning.  My early take is that it's a mixed bag for progressives, but mostly it was a pretty darn good night.
