Election Day was nearly three weeks ago, and one House race still needs to be called: California's 21st Congressional District.
The district covers portions of Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Tulare counties, and it's currently represented by Republican Rep. David Valadao. On Nov. 6, the incumbent was ahead of Democrat TJ Cox by about 4,400 votes, but as more ballots were counted, that lead got smaller. On Monday, after Kern County updated its results, Cox jumped ahead of Valadao by 436 votes.
