Several Colorado cities have been "zoom-bombed" by people making offensive remarks from afar while shrouded in anonymity.

Republicans are eyeing Colorado's plentiful pool of unaffiliated voters for that push to victory -- and in two counties, hoping to capitalize on local tax measures to make their case for more conservatism.

Westminster voters chose to continue selecting their elected leaders in the way they always have: by a citywide vote rather than dividing the city up into three geographic wards.

Polls are closed in California. Elections officials are beginning to process and count millions of mail-in ballots from California’s General Election.

The Secretary of State’s Office website shows an estimated 10,728,985 ballots had been counted by Friday at 4:30 p.m.

Every registered California voter was sent a mail-in ballot. The process offers greater convenience for voters, but also delays results because election staff must spend more time verifying signatures and handling late-arriving ballots.

Leading up to the election, statewide ballot returns were slightly lower compared to the 2020 General Election. On Monday, roughly 42% of ballots had been returned; in 2020, that number was closer to 49%, according to election firm Political Data, Inc.

County election officials have until Dec. 5 to process and count ballots. The Secretary of State will certify the results of the election on Dec. 13.

This page will be updated as results come in. See full California election results here. 

Presidential race

Vice President Kamala Harris won California’s 54 electoral college votes, according to a call by the Associated Press. (California’s electoral college lost one member after the 2020 census.) Harris’s projected win was called immediately after polls closed, far from a surprise in California.

Schiff was also announced as the winner of this race, per the Associated Press.
