Republican Rep. Michelle Steel led the race by 58 votes on Thursday .

Democrat Derek Tran took the lead Friday by 36 votes and widened his lead Monday to 102 votes.

The 45th District was one of the country's most expensive races, and a key target for Democrats .

Experts say there's nothing amiss in the district beyond California 's typically poky counting speeds.

Any voter or campaign can request a recount within five days of the election being certified, but must foot the costs.

Elections officials refund the money if the recount changes the result.

California Republican Party chair Jessica Millan Patterson : "We knew this was coming, as we've seen it before".
