Peters Still Leading DeMaio in D52 Race

The latest numbers show incumbent Democrat Scott Peters beating Republican challenger Carl DeMaio in the highly contentious race for the 52nd Congressional District.

The San Diego County Registrar released new vote tallies at 4 p.m. Saturday. Peters currently has 94,301 votes, or 51.3 percent, while DeMaio has 89,530 votes, or 48.7 percent. The candidates are separated by 4,771 votes.

The county notes there are about 74,000 mail-in and provisional ballots still to be counted. It is unclear how many of those ballots are from District 52.

DeMaio was leading after Election Night, but Peters' lead has since been expanding.
