Results as of Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 8:10 p.m.

Three minutes after the polls closed in California, the Associated Press called the state’s governor’s race for Democrat Xavier Becerra. In an explanation of the call, the AP’s website stated, “The AP will only declare a winner at poll closing time in races not expected to be competitive when all available evidence points to an overwhelming victory. This could include past vote results; pre-election polling; campaign fundraising and spending; and results from AP’s Voter Poll, which surveyed actual voters.”
