Kamala Harris is ahead in the California state Attorney General race as of Wednesday evening, but her winning margin—0.2 percent, or around 15,000 votes—with 100 percent of precincts reporting, according to the California Secretary of State’s website, makes the race too close to call.
The San Francisco Chronicle reiterated that it’s impossible to declare a winner and it may take weeks before the results come in due to yet-to-be-counted provisional and absentee ballots.
“All the movement in this race showed we were surging late and we feel those absentee ballots will be reflective of that late momentum,” Brian Brokaw, a spokesperson for Harris, told the Associated Press “We are incredibly optimistic.”
Harris, the Democratic San Francisco District Attorney, has garnered 45.9 percent of the vote, and is going up against Republican Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who currently has 45.7 percent of the vote.
A spokesperson for the Cooley campaign, Kevin Spillaine, said that they feel confident that Cooley has won 40 of California’s 58 districts, despite getting beaten in Los Angeles County and in the Bay Area.
“The race is not going to be decided until certification and it’s going to be by a very narrow margin,” Spillane told AP. “Frankly anything can happen.”
