M$NBC calling prop 19 a fail. Link to official CA page included.

[obxhead]

I was so hoping for that to pass.

http://vote.sos.ca.gov/maps/ballot-measures/19/

Link is to official CA site with county by county breakdown.

Edit:

Apparently I got really lucky getting the official link up. Here's another link, although not nearly as well built.

1. I have not been able to get on that website

at all.

"Due to an extremely high volume of traffic, the page you have requested is temporarily unavailable.
We apologize for the inconvenience, please try your request again shortly."

that for two hours straight now!

I voted 'Yes' on 19!


:-(

3. Hubby told me that it crashed

early on

[Kajsa]

6. Yep!

That's what happened.

[obxhead]

4. Yeah it's dropping in and out.

The whole nation has an interest in that. I imagine we'll hear about record traffic for the site tonight.

Hell I'm from VA. :evilgrin:

edit to add

Additional link. the official link is far cooler if you can get it to work though.

[Kajsa]

7. Thanks!

Imagine that-

the official state website crashing on election night,
in the state that has Silicon Valley!

[obxhead]

8. LOL

Yeah that is funny.

Happy to help.

2. dumb

[obxhead]

5. agreed

[Beaverhausen]

9. Prop 23 is losing, which is a very good thing

[Kajsa]

10. Yes it is!

And Prop 25 is looking good!

:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. 25 is far more critical than 19

really it is.

[Kajsa]

12. Prop 25 will END our friggin budget gridlocks

every June/July!

We will no longer be in a hopeless Repub. stranglehold for
months on end.
This last one was ridiculous!
It was the longest gridlock ever.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. It might have cost me a job as well

teaching at a local community college... yes I thought about that as I cast my vote.

[Kajsa]

16. I sure hope not, Nadin.

Thank you for your vote.

:hug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. They were ready to offer it for the term

then I never get a call back, It is the budget or lack of one.

[Kajsa]

19. Nadin, I'm out of work due to budget cuts also.

I'm a Home Teacher for our local school district.

I found out when school started in Sept. that the 140 teachers
who were laid off last June had first dibs on all the jobs in our
district. I lost two students I had last year.

14. + 10000000

15. yea but 20 is passing, 27 isn't, 22 is failing and 26 is passing

so it's not all great. Californians refuse to pay taxes, refuse to allow the legislature to move money from programs to program and wonder why their state budget can't be balanced. Something tells me the state will get less blue when Arnolds magic redistricting commission works it's magic.

[Caliman73]

17. I completely agree

People focused on Marijuana (which should be legal) and the insidious propositions like 20, 22, 24, 26, and 27 pass and the budget hole gets deeper. I swear people in this state can be so stupid.

The redistricting commissions are a joke. Mark my words, that will bite us in the ass. Now we can pass a budget, but we can't generate ANY kind of revenue without a super majority. Didn't people learn from Prop 13?

With 24, we lose more revenue by letting corporations move their money around to shell companies and skip out on paying any taxes. Good job people. :eyes:
