As of Wednesday morning, Republican Carl DeMaio was leading incumbent Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) in his California House race.
DeMaio leads by 752 votes with all precincts reporting, according to the Los Angeles Times. But San Diego County has yet to count absentee and provisional ballots, and won’t have those tallied until Thursday at the earliest.
DeMaio’s campaign was roiled by sexual harassment accusations in October, but DeMaio has denied that the incidents took place.
The perfect close to a rotten election night. An alleged two (three?) time Gay Republican sexual assaulter wins in, of all places, California.
God has a real sick sense of humor.
San Diego County is red, has been for a long time.
Yeah, but it’s Business Republicans, not Fundamentalist Republicans.
Democrats can get seats there. (Peters the incumbent for example)
CA52 is most of Duke Cunningham’s old district redrawn. There are a couple of senior communities and some retirement homes in the area. Retired military, too.
Look, after the Republicans voted in the madam visiting, diaper-wearing senator, Appalachian Trail dude, the Rep under indictment for corruption and the “made my mistress to get an abortion” fella, nothing they do surprises me anymore. For a party that dubs themselves the moral majority party, they sure have absolutely no morals at all.
