The ballot count for the election for a U.S. House seat from Utah took a surprising turn Friday to the benefit of Rep. Mia Love, who had been running behind in the vote tally.

“This is just the start of Mia’s victory”

Love is running against Salt Lake City Mayor Ben McAdams and pulled ahead in the vote tally for Utah’s 4th district.

However, her lead is very slim – 129006 votes to McAdams’ 128587, for a difference of only 413 votes. There are still thousands of provisional ballots left to count in the contest.

Her lead is well within the 0.25 percent threshold where Utah law allows for a candidate to request a recount.

“This is just the start of Mia’s victory,” said Love’s campaign manager, Dave Hansen. “We will continue to closely monitor the election results.”

Meanwhile Andrew Roberts, McAdam’s campaign manager, downplayed Love’s lead.

“We’re optimistic that when final numbers are reported Monday, Ben McAdams will again be winning,” Roberts said. “We’re grateful for the dedication of elections officials and employees as they complete the vital task of counting every legal vote.”

Geez. I hope so. The Rats will need a solid open borders vote when the time comes.

Don't be discouraged, Frank.  The Democrat may yet pull it out.

Please don't say 'pull it out' around Frank.

OK, that's where I draw the line.  I called Shenanigans, but nobody heard and now we're well on our happy horse to Tomfoolery. This has to stop.

I get down to Utah fairly often and lived there nearly 30 years. The Utah legislature is about 80% GOP, seems every year I was there in every legislative session they would redraw the Salt Lake City district to favor what they thought would be the GOP.

At the same time the state is heavily recruiting government and California businesses to locate to the SLC valley. She may survive but in two years the district will have enough Dims to defeat any GOP candidate in that district.....

I was a bit surprised when I heard she had lost.
So, now, it looks like maybe she didn't?
I have to say, all this weird, country wide,  count the vote when it is convenient crap is starting to get to me.
