Election Update 2018 General Election

Since our initial update right after the election, a number of races that were too close to call have now been decided. As of today, a total of over two million votes have been counted, and it is expected that 1.4 million votes statewide still need to be processed. When we originally reported the election results in early November, there were 55 Democrats and 25 Republicans expected in the Assembly and 26 Democrats and 14 Republicans predicted in the Senate. However, a number of the seats that were originally leaning Republican have now switched to favor the Democratic candidate. The newest tally indicates that the Democratic supermajority in the Assembly will have 60 members, and the Democrats have retained 29 seats in the Senate. This includes the surprising win of attorney Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D) who ended up defeating two-term Assemblymember Catharine Baker (R) in Assembly District 16. As more votes were processed, the outcome in the Assembly District 38 race also changed with Democrat Christy Smith narrowly defeating incumbent Dante Acosta. Another race of note is the statewide contest for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Marshall Tuck was originally prevailing over former Assembly Member , but Thurmond has pulled ahead to win the seat. Although most contentious races have now been determined, there are still a few races that are too close to call as the remaining votes are counted, which include Senate District 34 – (R) (50.2%) against (D) (49.8%) and Assembly District 77 – (R) (51.0%) against Sunday Gover (D) (49.0%). Listed below is an update to the previous election results. The races where the outcome has changed are highlighted in yellow.
