1st District Race & 2nd Congressional race still on? Bob Service is the only comeback kid I know.
Clif Clendenen and Norman Solomon look to still have a chance with over 6,000 votes pending in Humboldt County. But has anyone came back after a final report? Yes actually. Bob Service was trailing Jake Pickering 560 to 556 for the 4th District Democratic Central Committee race in 2008 and ended up winning 786 to 773! So it has been done in the past. Not likely to change though.

Gotta love it. Bob goes to Mongolia for the election and still beats local sign-painters Brady and Ellsworth.
Comebacks happen more than ever.
Paul Gallegos faced former Deputy DA Allison Jackson two years ago. Returns early election night November 2nd showed challenger Jackson ahead by 16 points, but when the sun rose on the 3rd, Gallegos was ahead 51.3 percent to 48.3 percent. Now THAT's a comeback. Surprised you didn't remember...
10:19-That is a good point, but I am talking from the final reported to the actual final tally which happens weeks after election day.
