Donald Trump won Rancho Santa Fe en route to another term in the White House, but the rest of coastal North County mostly went blue, based on Election Day results counted as of Nov. 7.

Those results follow recent historical trends.

As of the end of the week, the San Diego Registrar of Voters reported that there are about 500,000 ballots left to count.

The largely Democratic turnout has so far propelled U.S. Rep. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano, to a slim lead over Republican challenger and business owner Matt Gunderson. Gunderson has well over 50% of the vote in the Orange County portion of the district, but Levin holds a similar lead in the San Diego County portion of the district where there are more voters. Districtwide, it has come out to a lead of several thousand votes for Levin so far.
