While still too virtually call, medical marijuana opponent Steve Cooley leads the race for State Attorney General in California by roughly 43,000 votes. The latest count had Cooley at 3,875,037 and his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, at 3,831,825 votes.

On Sunday there were over one million ballots to count number. Currently there are still “enormous quantities” of uncounted ballots.

Both candidates remain hopeful, but it is unlikely that we’ll have a clear outcome from this race for several weeks. State law requires that every one ballots count number by November 30 and the general counts should be submitted by December 3.

As L.A. District Attorney, Steve Cooley opposed medical marijuana by condoning raids on dispensaries, prosecuting patients and even attempting to criminalize the sale of medical cannabis . His record as D.A. prompted Americans for Safe Access to launch a website to inform the public of the chance Cooley poses to medical marijuana.
