California Election Results Show Tight Races in Key Congressional Districts
LOS ANGELES, CA – November 6, 2024 (Time) – The California election results are revealing extremely narrow margins in several pivotal congressional races, with final tallies expected to take days, officials confirmed Tuesday. According to the California Secretary of State, as of 11:00 PM PST, approximately 45% of precincts have reported, showing no clear winners in at least five districts where candidates are separated by less than two percentage points. The close contests, particularly in Orange County and the Central Valley, are expected to determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives, with mail-in ballots and provisional votes still uncounted. Voter turnout was reported at 68% statewide, a slight increase from the previous midterm election, driven by high interest in state propositions regarding climate funding and housing reforms. Officials urged patience, noting that certified results will not be available until December 13, 2024.
