Democrat Charlie Brown closed to within 329 votes of Republican Tom McClintock Friday in the ongoing ballot count for the 4th Congressional District race.

Brown, from Roseville, was as close to McClintock's lead as he'd been since Election Day, and an e-mail to campaign supporters said that provisional ballots from Nevada County deserved the credit.

"Every day, we are hearing that election day provisional ballots, thousands of which have not yet been tallied, are breaking for Charlie by substantial margins in Placer, El Dorado, and Nevada counties," Brown campaign manager Todd Stenhouse said in the Friday e-mail, which also requested donations to cover vote-monitoring costs.

The percentages in the race remained with Brown at 49.9 percent and McClintock at 50.1 percent.

As of 4:49 p.m., there were no new updated numbers in the other outstanding Northern California legislative race in the 10th Assembly District.

In that contest, Republican Jack Sieglock remained ahead of Democrat Alyson Huber by 1,007 votes, out of more than 167,000 cast for the two candidates.

Percentages of vote counts for Proposition 11, the measure to reform how political districts are drawn, also remained the same with 50.8 percent approving and 49.2 opposing.

About 5.7 million people voted in favor of the measure, against 5.5 million who voted against it. Proposition 11's supporters said days after Nov. 4 that the measure had definitively passed, though opponents have yet to concede defeat.
