Orange County results.
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 08:39 AM by warrior1
Republican wins Calif. House seat
IRVINE, CALIF. // A Republican lawmaker won the race to fill the nation's only vacant congressional seat yesterday.

California state Sen. John Campbell will succeed Republican Christopher Cox, who represented the Orange County district in the House for 17 years before resigning to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.

With more than 50 percent of precincts reporting and absentee ballots counted, Campbell had 35,719 votes, or 48 percent, followed by the Democratic candidate, Steve Young, with 20,532 votes, or 28 percent. Jim Gilchrist, a founder of the Minuteman Project border patrol group who made illegal immigration the centerpiece of his third-party campaign, was third with 16,422 votes, or nearly 22 percent.

5. This wasn't Duke's seat.
The first sentence of the article is wrong which might have misled you.
