Topline:

Here at LAist, we'll be relying on candidate concessions and on the Associated Press to make calls on races. As the vote is tallied and elections officials issue updates overnight and in the coming days, we have a full slate of live returns in L.A. and Orange counties, as well as national results. So, hint: you'll probably want to bookmark this page.

Why it matters: According to most expert accounts and recent polling data, we're going to be in for the long haul when it comes to seeing how a lot of races eek out an outcome. So for some races, it could be days before a clear winner emerges. One race decided far faster than many thought: President. Donald J. Trump will return to the White House on a decisive win.

What's next: Local elections officials will be issuing daily updates until the elections are certified in December. This is normal.
