Republicans are going to control the House in the next Congress, but two races in California remain too close to call. The Democratic challenger has taken the narrowest of leads in one Orange County contest, while the Republican incumbent remains barely ahead in the other race, in the Central Valley.

Democrats have locked up 212 seats, with five still too close to call.
