Robert Dornan now looks as if he's lost his bid to return to Congress for a tenth term. Latina challenger Loretta Sanchez is ahead by close to 1,000 votes, a week after the election, with only two or three thousand absentee and provisional votes still to count. NPR's Ina Jaffe reports that it was absentee ballots and a strong Latino vote that overturned the fiery conservative in his equally conservative Orange County, California. Dornan is threatening to challenge the results, claiming that Democrats may have signed up ineligible immigrant voters.
