On Tuesday, Californians went to the polls to determine the legislative makeup of the world's 9th largest economy. Democrats held onto every statewide office, including the governorship, where Jerry Brown was re-elected to an unprecedented fourth term.

However, down the ballot, Democrats were unable to hold onto key seats, like Sharon Quirk-Silva in Assembly District 65 and Jose Solorio in Senate District 34. Assembly Districts 16, 17 and 39 were too close to call Wednesday as mail-in and provisional ballots are still being counted.

Of the six statewide ballot propositions, three were passed by a majority of voters.
