48th District: Democrats marked 15-term incumbent Dana Rohrabacher, who represents a large section of Orange County, as the most vulnerable Republican in the country. As of Wednesday afternoon, it appears Rohrabacher may lose his seat to political newcomer and opponent Harley Rouda -- though a winner has not officially been announced.

Rouda is a former Republican who has never served in Washington.

25th District: Polls said California's 25th congressional district race between Democratic challenger Katie Hill and Republican incumbent Steve Knight was a toss-up.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Hill stood at more than 51 percent of the votes, while Knight had 48.7 percent. Hill's campaign manager told ABC News that Knight has called and conceded.
