California has officially certified its 2024 election results, confirming Vice President Kamala Harris's victory in her home state. The certification process, completed on December 13, 2024, solidified Harris's win with 58.48% of the vote, while former President Donald Trump secured 38.34%.
Certification Process and Voter Turnout
The California Secretary of State's office oversaw the meticulous certification process, ensuring all ballots, including mail-in and provisional, were accurately counted. This election witnessed a voter turnout of 71.4%, reflecting a 9.3 percentage point increase from previous years.
County-Level Results and Shifts
Despite Harris's statewide success, Trump flipped ten counties that previously leaned Democratic, including Butte, Fresno, and Riverside. Notably, Imperial County, with a predominantly Hispanic population, voted Republican for the first time since 1988.
