Democrats will keep a close eye on California county registrars over the next few days as uncertainty remains in several House races. But initial results show Democrats could avoid a general election shutout in some of their top targets.

The Associated Press has yet to call the second-place finishers in seven of Democrats’ 10 GOP-held targets in the Golden State, with mail-in ballots yet to be counted, and a voter roll debacle that threw even more chaos into vote-counting.

Democrats view California as key to flipping the House, but the top-two primary system created headaches for Democrats in races with multiple candidates on both sides.

The two highest vote-getters advance to November regardless of party. A slew of Democratic candidates raised concerns that they could split the vote, causing two Republicans to advance.

Democrats have been operating behind the scenes for months to encourage some candidates to drop out. And they spent millions in the final weeks boosting their candidates and knocking down other Republicans to secure a spot on the general election ballot.
