(statewide and county) and as of 6:30 pm on June 13, the numbers of votes for BOTH candidates had increased.

But Hillary still has a firm 12 percent lead: 55.5% to 43.5%.

The counting will continue - there is a 30-day canvass period to ensure that all votes are counted. What the CTers seem to miss (among many other things):

- not all uncounted votes are for Democratic candidates
- of those that are for Democratic candidates, they are not all for Bernie; in fact, they appear to be allocated between Hillary and Bernie in much the same percentages as in the overall winning projections from June 7

Those two factors will likely continue throughout the counting process. No one sane doubts Hillary's win in CA. The winning margin could tighten somewhat. But so far, it has not tightened by much.
