    Correct on the fear of that happening in 3 or 4 key races. I think it only ended up being close in 1 of the districts. The other nuance of CA is that huge amounts of people vote by mail at it has to be postmarked by election day, so the final results might be more favorable to Dems than the initial snapshot, which again has them not being shut out in any key races.

        Is that where the illegal voting comes from? No wonder Trump lost the popular vote.

There was a big shut out in a major race however. Unfortunately for the "Dems in disarray" crowd, it was for the US Senate race, and it was the GOP who won't be fielding a candidate against 105 year old Diane Feinstein.
                    They were also hoping to get top two for the Governors race and leave Republicans with only local races to vote on. So 1 for 2.

                      Yep. That would've been ideal. They failed on that one. They shouldn't have but they did.

                        Also, the GOP candidate who harassed a trans woman in CA lost. BADLY.

                          That's a bit of a stretch. Dems did well out in CA and now need to cut the GOP delegation in half on election day. A total wipeout of all targeted races next them about a third of the seats they need to recapture the House.

                            The leading candidate wanted an R to run against because it'd make him all but a shoo in to win.

                              There are also 2.6 million remaining votes to count from Tuesday. Vote by mail: Effective but slow. If the House comes down to a few California districts in November, we might not know who controls it for a week or two.
