Ballot are being counted across California and elections results are rolling in.

Katie Porter, the only major female candidate in a crowded Democratic field for California governor, conceded in the race Tuesday night.
Porter released her remarks in a social media video.
Her campaign focused on housing affordability and eliminating state income tax for middle-class residents, with an explicit platform to abolish ICE.
Porter was the only major candidate for governor that did not accept corporate donations.
Mayor Karen Bass thanked supporters for having faith in her after a tough first term and predicted she will win in November.
Early returns in the race are coming in.
Bass told supporters she appreciated the support when others doubted her.
"I love you. I appreciate you. I appreciate you for believing in me," she said.
Bass, a Democrat, is facing challengers from both ends of the political spectrum.
Bass told supporters she'd devoted her life to serving the city and "I'm going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November."
Democratic State Senator Scott Wiener advances to the general election for California 11th Congressional District in a bid for Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's seat. As of 9:45 p.m., he has 40,017 votes.
San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, who was endorsed by Emerita Pelosi, is in second place with 26,443 votes.
Political newcomer Saikat Chakrabarti is in third with 13,154 votes.
And David Ganezer has 5,201 votes.
Billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer told supporters he and his backers "know we finished really strong."
Steyer pledged to advance progressive policies like universal healthcare and aggressive climate policy, ideas he reiterated as votes were still being tallied.
"We should have a system based on fairness, not on asking for fairness," he said.
Steyer's campaign spent or booked more than $203 million in ads for broadcast TV, cable and radio, yielding accusations from some that he had tried to buy the election.
But Steyer noted that major corporate interests, including a major California utility, dumped money into defeating him because he's the candidate willing to take them on.
"I welcome their hatred," Steyer said.
