Jackson leads Strickland by razor thin margin in SD-19

By 4 a.m. Wednesday morning, with 98 percent of precincts reporting, Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson was clinging to a 386 vote lead over Republican Tony Strickland in their fight for the 19th state Senate District.

Jackson's campaign was confident they were headed towards a victory Tuesday night when the Santa Barbara resident pulled into an early 6 point lead.

Yet as Strickland consultant Joe Justin predicted, Jackson's lead narrowed as vote totals came in from Republican-friendly areas of Ventura and Los Angeles counties.
