Dear
Friends,
UPDATE: In recent hours, the
Marin Independent Journal and the
Pacific Sun published articles on our momentum in the ballot counting, as the vote margin for the GOP's Dan Roberts has fallen to just 596. With more than 17,000 votes remaining to be counted in this congressional district, the
Marin IJ reported:
Roberts, a Tiburon investment adviser, said he agreed with Solomon's calculation of the shrinking vote gap.
"I'm as confident as you can be with a 596-vote lead," Roberts said.
Please read on to see why our election protection work is so vital.
Best wishes,
Norman

Subject: New Vote Count: Gap cut by more than half
Dear
Friends,
We have narrowed the gap with Republican Dan Roberts to less than half a percent -- 0.4% to be exact.
That means nearly 60 percent of the gap has disappeared since election night as more ballots have been counted.
Upwards of 17,000 ballots remain to be counted in several counties -- and our campaign remains committed to election protection work to ensure that every one of those votes is counted.
You can support our election protection work by clicking here.
After ALL the votes in this race are counted, either Roberts or I will advance to the general election.
These next 7-14 days will be pivotal. Sonoma and Humboldt counties are expected to report their uncounted votes for the first time during this period, and Marin County is expected to finish counting its last two thousand provisional votes as well.
Our Election Protection work continues unabated, and you can help us now.
I'm grateful that so many people have urged us to keep fighting for every vote by
showing ongoing support with donations that make possible our monitoring of the vote count.
After we get through this election protection effort, I hope to see you at our
What's Next event on July 7. Please read more about it in the updated note below from our Campaign Manager. Thanks again.
With appreciation,
Norman
