Democrat Katie Porter overtakes GOP Rep. Mimi Walters in Orange County district ballot count
Source: San Diego Union-Tribune
After clinging for a week to a slim lead in her run for reelection, Republican Rep. Mimi Walters fell 261 votes behind her Democratic challenger Katie Porter as Orange Countys latest ballot count Tuesday underscored the increasingly bleak fortunes of the California GOP.
Democrats have already won three of the GOPs 14 House seats in California, and Walters is one of three others the party is also in serious danger of losing as county registrars finish counting ballots from the Nov. 6 election.
Republican Rep. Jeff Denham dropped further behind Democrat Josh Harder when San Joaquin County released its latest vote count. Denham is now 3,447 votes behind.
And Young Kim, the Republican running to succeed GOP Rep. Ed Royce of Fullerton, saw her lead over Democrat Gil Cisneros shrink Tuesday to 711 votes as Orange and Los Angeles counties updated their tallies.

They used to be like the Cubans with hatred of Democrats whom they equated with being soft on the commies.
One of my friends from OC whom I used to party with a lot back in my late twenties was a gorgeous pop star in the Vietnamese community. I still chat with her from time to time on Facebook...sadly, I found out that she is a total trumper despising socialism blah blah blah. She is so much less attractive now!

Half of those guys are, even for people who follow politics, rather anonymous/unknown at the national level. But 3 of them (Nunes, McCarthy, Hunter) are nationally recognized Grade-A, top shelf, USDA Prime Turdburgers.
