California's Last Undecided House Race Hinges on Ballot Curing

Democrat Adam Gray leads Republican John Duarte by 182 votes as campaigns push for cured ballots ahead of the December 1 deadline.

California's 13th Congressional District is the final uncalled House race in the U.S., with Adam Gray narrowly leading John Duarte by 182 votes.
Both Democrats and Republicans are actively engaging in ballot curing efforts to address issues like missing or mismatched signatures before the December 1 cutoff.
California law allows voters to register conditionally up to Election Day, with 196 conditional ballots still requiring verification in this district.
The race's outcome could influence the already slim Republican majority in the House, especially with potential vacancies from GOP members joining the new administration.
Election results are expected to be certified on December 3, and recounts are possible but must be requested and funded by campaigns or voters.
