Too Close to Call
The only thing we know right now is that we don't know anything for sure. This race is still too close to call.
There are up to 100,000 ballots (provisional and late vote-by-mail) that have yet to be counted in Riverside County. Of those 100,000 ballots yet to be counted, we aren’t sure how many are within our district.
The OC Register had earlier called this race for Calvert, but has since rescinded that claim and drawn the same conclusion we have - until every last vote has been counted, we will not know who has won. As it stands now, the results are: Bill Hedrick 48.2% Ken Calvert 51.7%.
We will make an official statement on the outcome when every last vote has been counted. If you voted on a provisional ballot (and apparently this happened a lot in Corona, Norco, and the east side of Riverside), or if you voted-by-mail, call the registrar's office and ask that every ballot be counted.
We are consulting with attorneys to ensure the integrity of the voting and counting process and we will keep you posted. We have had--and will continue to have--observers in Riverside and Santa Ana as the ballot verification continues. Thank you all for your unwavering support throughout this election. Win or lose, this race is incredibly tight--the most competitive challenge in Southern California.
