The still-undecided contest over a Glendale-Burbank seat in the state Assembly held by Republicans for 62 years grew even tighter Monday, with Republican John Geranios closing to within 168 votes of Democrat Scott Wildman.
Wildman, a teachers union representative, had a 544-vote lead after all precincts in the 43rd Assembly District were tallied last week. That margin has tightened with the counting of absentee ballots, with another 10,000 to go, plus 30,000 provisional ballots--those with errors that must be clarified.
