Senator Dianne Feinstein of California received 7,864,624 votes when she ran for reelection in 2012. That appears to be the most votes received in one election by anyone running for a seat in Congress in the U.S. These results do not necessarily reflect the level of her popularity; the main reason is that California currently has more citizens than any state has ever had before. Sen. Feinstein received 62.52% of the votes cast for U.S. Senator in California. Just among the 33 U.S. Senate election winners in 2012, that ranks 10th.
