After a brief break to drive to Claremont and back (I heard Obama's speech on the radio), I'm back at the computer. I haven't successfully loaded the California Secretary of State's website yet, but I did discover that the Daily Bulletin page http://www.dailybulletin.com/electionresults is showing results from Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
The 44th U.S. Congressional District is interesting:
United States Representative, 44th District
96/356 26.97%
Vote Count Percent
DEM - BILL HEDRICK 16,936 51.55%
REP - KEN CALVERT 15,917 48.45%
Total 32,853 100.00%
The San Bernardino results haven't updated since my last post, and the website claims that they won't have another updated for an hour and a half (11:00 pm PST).
I checked the Pomona mayor's race, but they haven't had an update since 8:06 pm. Here is Los Angeles County's preliminary (again, 8:06) votes on the propositions:
