Polls closed at 11 PM ET in California and Washington, in most of Oregon, and in Idaho's northern panhandle (poll-closing times from AP via NYT; the rest of Oregon closed at 10 PM ET).
The Associated Press called two races as the polls closed, before any votes were reported: California governor for Democrat Xavier Becerra over Republican Steve Hilton, and Oregon's Senate seat for Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley. Both seats stay Democratic.
House races to watch in this wave: CA-22 (Rep. David Valadao, R, vs. Randy Villegas, D), CA-13 (Rep. Adam Gray, D, vs. Kevin Lincoln, R), CA-45 (Rep. Derek Tran, D, vs. Chuong Vo, R), CA-48 (Marni von Wilpert, D, vs. Jim Desmond, R) and WA-03 (Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D, vs. John Braun, R). Oregon governor: Gov. Tina Kotek (D) vs. Christine Drazan (R). No votes had been reported in these races as of 11:01 PM ET.
Next: Hawaii at midnight ET, and Alaska's last polls at 1 AM ET.
