AL-Gov (D): There it is: The AP has called the Democratic primary for Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox, who will take on GOP Gov. Kay Ivey in November. Ivey is the heavy favorite, but of course, the Alabama GOP just managed to lose a statewide race only six months ago….

CA-39/CA-48/CA-49: Orange County has already dropped its early vote, which gives us some indication of where those three key races lie.

- CA-48: Dana Rohrabacher (R) 30, Hans Keirstead (D) 19, Scott Baugh (R) 18

CA-Sen: Unsurprisingly, the AP has already called the first general election slot for Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who currently has 41 percent of the vote. Little-known Republican James Bradley is in second with 11, while Democrat Kevin de Leon has just 7. While you might see that it looks like only 3% of precincts are reporting, a far higher proportion of the total vote has already been tallied because of the popularity of voting by mail (meaning many early-arriving votes have been counted).

CA-25: Some votes are starting to trickle in for this targeted race in North L.A. County, and….WOW. The expected: Republican Rep. Steve Knight is leading (he has 55% of the vote. The unexpected: right now, 2016 Democratic nominee Bryan Caforio and fellow Democratic challenger Katie Hill are...wait for it...tied with 1719 votes each.

SD-Gov (R)/SD-AL (R): Neither of these are necessarily surprises, given the trajectory of the votes all evening. But the AP has ended the suspense, declaring congresswoman Kristi Noem the nominee for Governor, and Dusty Johnson the nominee to replace Noem in the U.S. House of Representatives. Noem will take on Democratic state legislator Billie Sutton for Governor, while Johnson takes on Democrat Tim Bjorkman for the open seat in the House.
