there is no response from meg whitman's camp. we will continue to follow all of the information here. the crowd right now is chanting for meg whitman. they have in fact been chanting for the past 20 minutes. she still has not made her way to the ballroom. we are going to track the details and bring you much more when they become available. that's the latest from universal city. dana back to you. >> we are showing the election results at this point with 20% of the precincts voting. you talk about how meg whitman wanted to reach out to the general population. every day folk. but looking at the numbers up there. you had former governor pete wilson on stage. and if you look at the endorsements that she had. new york mayor michael bloomberg. former massachusetts governor mitt romney. rudy giuliani. former secretary of state george schultz. i mean, the cream of the crop endorsed this woman. and they are all sitting there waiting for her to come out tonight as well it would appear and we are not going to hear from her for a while. >> as

we're also monitoring the latest from meg whitman's camp, waiting for meg whitman to come out in a very unusual political year where we're seeing victory speeches are often before concession speeches, and that appears to be the case here once again with the governor's race. very unusual this year. in that regard, they're not waiting for candidates to give their concession speeches first. >> they're -- i think we have to expect that whitman still hasn't called brown to concede, and he felt like he waited long enough and gave an unconventional victory speech and started talking about the building he was in. >> we saw this with gavin newsom in his speech. it was a victory speech of sorts, even though the polls are close, the associated press has called a lot of these races before 9:00 this evening. >> in fact, with mayor newsom's speech, it was when we get to sacramento. their own polling makes them feel like well confident to say the least. >> what's happening with whitman, with her strategists, all the people that she's hire today work this campaign? >> in some ways, these last steps are

we want to get an update from the meg whitman campaign. apparently she has come down now and that's a live picture of her at the podium. jerry brown has been, well, he has been projected as the winner for governor over meg whitman. there's about a 4 or 5-% margin i think at this hour with about half of the precinct checking in the state. she looks to be ready to address the crowd and there were some words earlier that the computer system that tallies up the votes and, i guess, the state attorney general's office -- secretary of state's office had been crashed earlier in the evening, and so several of these campaigns said they wanted to wait, were the carly fiorina campaign before they wanted to make any statements. that's what we saw. "this site temporarily unavailable, please check back later," there was no explanation as to what happened. let's list technician in to meg whitman, republican candidate for governor.

jerry brown has a slight lead over meg whitman. but the associated press has called the race for brown. so far raw numbers show a very tight race. all across the nation, a different story republican candidates have won enough seats to gain control of the house of representatives. much more on that coming up. back here in california the early returns indicate proposition 19 which would legalize marijuana is losing. ktvu is covering breaking news right now. we will bring you live coverage from along the bay area, the state and washington, d.c. >>> never before have we seen a race like the california governor's race. meg whitman spent $140 million of heifer own money. right now it is still unclear if investment is going to pay off. here are the current numbers, jerry brown took an early lead when the polls closed and he has been holding on to it ever since now. the race has not yet been officially called but as you

meg whitman has to do well with votes. she has to take close to 60% of the independent vote and 40% of latino votes. the polls and surveys suggest she's lost ground in those two areas. >> after what happened with the house keeper, the nikki gate. >> we know na carly fiorina stopped spending her own money unlike meg whitman, but the republicans kicked in money because they felt they had to run the table here and there was at least some chance she could beat barbara boxer. does that chance still exist, or do the polls tell bark ra boxer once again she survived. ? >> the republicans through in 7.5 million, 4 million in the last ten days hoping this would be the final piece to running the table. the polls suggest and we want to be careful about polls. the polls suggest there's probably five, six, maybe eight point spread. why is that the case? because she has not, fiorina, gone toward the middle the same way meg whitman has. because of that she's counting on the base to overcome a lot of the other stuff. >> jessica and were di

meg whitman and dr. harsh have agreed to pay $5,500 in settlement. we have agreed to that amount because that is almost the entire amount that we were seeking less interest, less penalties. >> reporter: nikki diaz read a statement saying she is trying to make sure other housekeepers know they have rights. >> we do all of this because we need to support our family and to give our children a better future. we do our best for our employers and in return, all we ask is to be treated with respect and to be paid for all the work we do. >> reporter: the communications director for meg whitman's campaign says the $5,500 settlement does not include any admission of wrongdoing and the whitmans are glad to have this chapter behind them. >> this is a -- this is the last dying gasp in a political act that all the californians are better off with now that it's dead and gone. it's important for people to understand that this is a political charade. >> reporter: now, as for the whitman camp it says it has doubts that nikki diaz even worked those extra hours that she

and even her hometown newspaper said meg whitman has

carlie fiorina and meg whitman. meg whitman probably spent 190 million when it is all said and done and get out the vote effort that was supposed to help carlie. we have called the race for barbara boxer. she is somebody you put in the category of nancy pelosi and wrapped herself in the mantel of barack obama and the unemployment rate is 12 percent. yet obama favorables are high . it looks like jerry brown will win the governor seat. >> what does it all mean. >> it is a clear repudiation of president obama's agenda. you heard in the lead up to the election. just to put a punctionation mark. the coast, republican it is -- didn't do well on the coast. but strikingly well in the midparty of the country. just two years ago he won iowa and wisconsin and michigan and ohio by 4. republicans did well in many of the places. ohio in particular. a senate seat . wisconsin a senate seat . michigan a governor seat . by surprisingly big margins. we are seeing democrats hold their advantage on the coast but internally the heart lan

[ crying ] >> reporter: diaz had worked as whitman's housekeeper for nine years until june of 2009. meg whitman said that diaz had used her sister's social security number and whitman said she did not know that her housekeeper was undocumented. so gloria allred and nikki diaz will appear here at this s
