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.

Tom Wait takes a look at some of the still closely contested races for the U.S. House of Representatives who will represent Southern California nearly a week after Election Day.

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.
