That's how many Californians voted on November 2nd... the largest number of voters in California history, according to final figures from the office of Secretary of State Kevin Shelley.

That total, almost 12.6 million voters, equates into 76.04% of the state's registered voters. Officials say, however, it's not a record percentage-wise; in 1980, 77.24% of registered voters turned out as former governor Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent President Jimmy Carter.

Final election results can be seen later today on the Secretary of State's website. Also of note in the final tallies: the rising influence of independent voters, those registered as "decline to state." While Democrats still are on top (43% of registered voters versus 34.7% registered as Republican), decline-to-states are now 17.7% of the registered electorate. That's up almost five percent since 1999.
