This batch of additional OC votes was won by Tran 511 to 361, netting 150 votes for Derek. There was also a small L.A. batch that had 61 Tran and 33 Steel, another 28 vote gain. !78 votes off the previous deficit of 236 leaves the margin at 58 votes. Damn!
The winning margins in these late batches are quite good for Derek Tran. I don't expect either county to update until Monday but might check OC tomorrow. I think the lead switches in the next update, whether it is tomorrow or Monday.
CA 45: Steel’s lead down to 58 votes.

OC's website indicates they will update at 5 pm on Saturday. I agree with your guess that Tran will be leading Saturday night.
I believe the small LA section of the district updates at 4 pm.
Now down to 36 votes!
