Notes

  1. ↑ Total of official results for Democratic candidates.
  2. ↑ Both general election candidates in California were members of the Democratic Party, having won the top two positions in the nonpartisan blanket primary (established by the 2010 California Proposition 14), so all 11.1 million votes in California were counted for Democrats, as tabulated by the Clerk of the House.[1][2] In 2012, the last time a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate appeared on the ballot in California, 12.6 million votes were cast, of which 4.7 million, or 38%, were cast for the Republican candidate.
  3. ↑ Total of official results for candidates labeled "Independent".
