I often was one of those late votes when i spent decades living in riverside and the IE. In fact the IE has been an area where Becerra received the lions share of his late vote boosting him to first. The IE is very purple and increasingly blue as it is one of the fastest growing regions in California. Not saying thats where Steyers hail Mary will come from, but it is certainly far less republican than most people think. Hilton percentage ceiling has been hit and there is nowhere else for it to go but down. The only question is: how far down will it go?

Anyways. We will find out soon what the final vote counts look like. I think Steyer will shoot ahead in batches in Sacramento even though he hasn't had that happen yet (only 50% 64% counted tbf) although I am completely open to you being right as well!

I respect that you live in Sacramento. I also spent a good amount of years there as well. Nice place!

ETA just to clarify: Steyer doesnt need to get double digits over the entire pack. He only needs to get double digits over Hilton like the results we saw yesterday. He can still come in second in the rest of the batches behind Becerra and catch up on Hilton significantly.
