A Superior Court judge on Tuesday upheld the secretary of state’s decision to invalidate the anti-transgender referendum that had been slated for the November ballot.

Democrats’ prospects in a trio of key U.S. Senate races are improving, an influential elections forecaster said Thursday, though Republicans are still favored to retain control of the chamber after the midterm elections.

California often takes days or even weeks to tally votes after its elections, a product of measures to protect voters and a deluge of mail ballots dropped off on Election Day. Incomplete vote totals reported in the hours after polls close don’t always reflect final results. None of this is evidence of fraud. But President […]

We learned this week that the Democratic-aligned group American Bridge plans to spend $50 million to help the party’s congressional candidates in this fall’s elections.

Graham Platner will kick off starts his first general election at one of the lowest points of his upstart Senate campaign.
