This isn’t unusual or unexpected, as the nation’s most populous state is consistently among the slowest to report all its election results. Compare it to a state like Florida, the third-largest, which finished counting its votes four days after ...

Nine states have at least one uncalled House race, some of which are so close they are headed to a recount. Then there’s California. About half of the yet-to-be-decided House races are in the state, which has only counted about three-quarters of its votes statewide.

The nation’s largest state by population has one of the longest vote-counting processes, both because of the sheer number of ballots and efforts to make voting easier.

According to the California Secretary of State's office, in the weekend leading up to Nov. 11, there were still roughly 4.9 million ballots in the state to be counted from the 2024 general election.
