Well, it seems that PG&E and the Insurance companies tricked people.

1. Well people didn't show to vote either

there is a reason these things were put on the ballot on a low turn out primary.

[Kerrytravelers]

2. Good point.

I get so tired of voting all the time. I do. But damn it, I'm not going to let those bastards throw stuff on the ballot without voicing my opinion.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Well you and I have earned the right to gripe

until November... and I am betting we will show up again in November.

4. 19% of the tally @ 10:21 -

Prop 16 Local Electricity Providers (Yes) 858,007 52.5% (No) 779,293 47.5%

Agggh. Here's hoping the larger counties come in with totals to turn against this scam proposition.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I am just sickened by this.

Goddamn.

:banghead:

[pinto]

7. I as well. Geez. These are early returns, though. The larger counties will tell the tale.

:hi:

[pinto]

6. #14 has an early lead, as well -

Prop #14 Primary Election Participation (Yes) 993,309 59.6% (No) 674,697 40.4%

[pinto]

8. A ray of hope, my county - is going solidly against 15 and edging against 16.

Typically a big (R) primary turnout here, but we have a couple of good local races that have fired up Dems. *All politics are local* someone said...

:kick:

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Sixteen is closing that GAP

Yes 50.3
No 49.7

I HOPE this one goes down

17... no way it close it now, GRRRRR

[Kerrytravelers]

10. I saw that. Whew.

17 may be able to close. LA is still trickling in.

The one on opening primaries though. That is my :grr:

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. This one has flipped

and a very similar open primaries one was sent down packing by the court in 2000

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Seventeen is also closing

15. WooHoo! I'm so glad my OP turned out to be dead wrong!

[ronnykmarshall]

16. I was VERY happy to see those two props die!

I really thought 16 would win given all the ads they had up.

I'm VERY impressed with Cal voters.

[NYC_SKP]

17. Your OP sucked!!!!
