California's Proposition 3, the path to legalizing marriage for same-sex couples, will pass, ABC News projects.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff is expected to defeat Republican Steve Garvey in the race for California's U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, ABC News projects.
Schiff and Garvey are running in two separate elections: one for the full six-year term and the other for the remaining weeks of Feinstein's unexpired term.
ABC News projects that Vice President Kamala Harris will win California, giving her the largest prize in the presidential election - 54 electoral votes.
The FBI is monitoring the election from a command post in downtown San Francisco.
"The things that are priority for us are threats to people, actual acts of violence, I can say that fortunately we haven't had any of that happening here, but we are positioned to address that. Either an act of violence targeting a poll worker, or targeting somebody trying to vote," said FBI Special Agent In Charge Robert Tripp.
The command post will be staffed 24 hours a day until the election is officially over.
