Polls have closed in California and Washington, along with the remaining portions of Oregon and Idaho.

Key races to watch:

  • California House races: Five Republican-held districts targeted by Democrats through redistricting, along with other competitive seats.
  • Washington’s 3rd District: Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) is defending her seat.
  • Oregon Governor: Tina Kotek (D) vs. Christine Drazan (R).
  • California Governor: Xavier Becerra (D) vs. Steve Hilton (R).

What to watch: House results from Southern California and the Central Valley, and Oregon’s competitive gubernatorial contest.

California’s mail-ballot counting means the final House picture may remain incomplete for days.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
