The AP has now called CA-07 for Democrat Ami Bera, who defeats GOP Rep. Dan Lungren. Thursday evenining's update from Sacramento County put Bera up 5,696 votes over Lungren, meaning he captured more than 54.7 percent of the almost 20,000 votes counted since Wednesday. That brings the number of ballots outstanding to the 20,000-25,000 range; even assuming (generously) 25,000 votes left to be counted, Lungren would need more than 61% of them. That's not going to happen, which is why the AP made it's call. Congratulations, Congressman-elect Ami Bera!
