Valadao concedes in California congressional race:
Valadao called Cox to concede Thursday and released a statement,
saying “representing the Central Valley in Congress has been the honor
of a lifetime.” ...
Valadao was almost 5,000 votes ahead of Cox on election night, but
late returns caught up with the three-term congressman – as they did for
six of his fellow California Republicans. With the certification of
elections in Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties this week, the
final margin appears to be 862 votes – less than one percentage point –
in Cox’s favor.
