Title: See Full Results and Maps from the California Election: A Democratic Stronghold in the 2020 Presidential Race

Context: The 2020 California election saw high turnout, with the presidential election acting as a significant draw for many voters. While the final results were not a surprise, the margins and individual races provide valuable insights into the political landscape of the state. This article will present the full results and maps from the California election, highlighting key races and trends.

Presidential Race:

As expected, California voted for Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden Jr., contributing to his eventual victory in the presidential election. The results were heavily skewed towards early votes, which traditionally favor Democratic candidates. This trend was consistent with national data, which showed Democrats being more likely to vote by mail due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Governor Race:

Incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom (D) ran for re-election and won with a commanding lead. His Republican opponent, John Cox, conceded the race early in the night, acknowledging the insurmountable margin. Newsom's victory reflects his strong approval ratings and the Democratic Party's dominance in California politics.

U.S. Senate, State Senate, and State Assembly Races:

In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Senator Alex Padilla (D) won his first full term in office after being appointed to the position by Governor Newsom to fill Vice President Kamala Harris's vacated seat. Democrats maintained their supermajorities in both the State Senate and State Assembly, with incumbent Democrats successfully defending their seats.

Propositions and Referendums:

Californians voted on several propositions and referendums during the 2020 election. Some notable outcomes include:

* Proposition 15: Defeated (52% to 48%). This proposition would have increased property taxes on commercial properties worth more than $3 million, with the additional revenue earmarked for public schools and local governments.
* Proposition 22: Passed (59% to 41%). This proposition classified app-based drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, exempting companies like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash from providing employee benefits.
* Proposition 25: Defeated (62% to 38%). This proposition would have upheld Senate Bill 10, which replaced cash bail with a risk-assessment system for determining pretrial release.

Local Races:

In local races, Democrats continued to hold a strong presence. In the mayoral races, Democrats won in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose, while the race in San Francisco remains undecided at the time of writing. In sheriff races, Democrats also maintained their stronghold, with victories in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego counties.

Conclusion:

The 2020 California election reinforced the state's status as a Democratic stronghold. The party's dominance was evident in the presidential race, state legislative races, and local contests. While the results of individual races were largely predictable, the high turnout and strong showing for Democratic candidates illustrate the importance of California in national politics.
Title: See Full Results and Maps from the California Election: Democrats Sweep Across State in Landslide Victory

The California election saw a massive turnout with Democrat candidates securing a landslide victory in most of the races. The Associated Press called the presidential election with Joseph R. Biden Jr. winning the state, as expected.

In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Kamala Harris secured her re-election with a significant margin. Similarly, California Governor Gavin Newsom, also a Democrat, ran for re-election and won with a landslide victory.

The U.S. House races saw an equally impressive performance by the Democrats. In all 53 seats up for election, Californians elected Democratic candidates. The incumbent Democratic representatives, including Nancy Pelosi and Karen Bass, ran for re-election and won securely.

In the State Senate and State Assembly, incumbent Democrats ran for re-election and won their seats with comfortable margins. Democrats were successful in winning every seat for both the State Senate and the State Assembly, reinforcing their stronghold in the state.

Propositions on the ballot saw mixed results. Proposition 14, which aims to authorize $5.5 billion in general obligations bonds to fund stem cell and other medical research, passed with a solid majority. However, Proposition 15, which aimed to increase funding for public schools, community colleges, and local governments by changing tax assessment rules for commercial and industrial property, was rejected.

Democrats also dominated the statewide offices, winning in the races for Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Insurance Commissioner, Secretary of State, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Supreme Court, and Treasurer.

The Board of Equalization, which is responsible for property tax administration, also saw Democrats securing their seats. The Mayor and Sheriff races in various counties and cities also favored Democratic candidates.

Early votes, which disproportionately favor Democrats, accounted for almost all of the returns. However, even considering the outstanding votes, California's blue tide is unlikely to recede. With these results, Democrats strengthen their position in one of the most populous states in the nation, shaping the political landscape not just in California but also in the country.
