This isn’t unusual or unexpected, as the nation’s most populous state is consistently among the slowest to report all its election results. Compare it to a state like Florida, the third-largest, which finished counting its votes four days after Election Day.

About half of the yet-to-be-decided House races are in the state, which has only counted about three-quarters of its votes statewide.

Ten of the 17 races that will determine which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives are in California. No state takes longer to tally votes.

What to KnowCompetitive House races remain undecided in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Two of six key races in Southern California had been called as of early Tuesday. Other races remained too close to call.
