With only 15 provisional ballots remaining to be counted Tuesday morning, Rep. Jim Costa (D-Fresno) narrowly won his toughest reelection battle.

The Secretary of State's update showed Costa leading Republican cherry farmer Andy Vidak by 3,031 votes, or 51.8% to 48.2%, in the 20th Congressional District. Costa, who trailed on election night, already had declared victory, confident in the trend that had him overtaking Vidak as the remaining absentee and provisional ballots were being counted.

1. Good deal

A tough fight in a dem-unfriendly district.

2. Saw Vidak posters up on a lot of "ag land" during my last drive up the I-5

Costa posters were... much harder to come by!
