California ballot measures - update

[Alcon]

I was going to go vote on this, but the voting booth is at least two blocks away, maybe two and a half.

Joke political junkie.

I actually voted since I walked by the voting booth on my way to grab some pizza

The only cool votes are ACCIDENTAL VOTES

First results:

1A ("Rainy Day" Budget Stabilization Fund)
No 62%
Yes 38%

1B (Education Funding. Payment Plan)
No 58%
Yes 42%

1C (Lottery Modernization Act)
No 60%
Yes 40%

1D (Children's Services Funding)
No 61%
Yes 39%

1E (Mental Health Funding)
No 61%
Yes 39%

1F (Elected Officials Salaries)
Yes 78%
No 22%

11% reporting, pretty diverse selection of counties in, turnout sucks.

1A is passing San Francisco, failing the rest of the Bay Area moderately, and getting slaughtered 2-to-1 elsewhere, even Los Angeles.  It's dead.

1B is passing SF and Santa Clara, but failing Marin.  Los Angeles is over 60% no.  Rural counties are 60-70% no.  It's dead.

1C is barely passing San Francisco, barely failing Santa Clara, and dying everywhere else, Marin included.  Dead.

1D isn't even passing San Francisco.  Corpse.  Same with 1E, but worse.

1F is passing everywhere, but oddly doing massively better in north California, where virtually everything is over 80%.  Orange isn't even 2-to-1.  Ventura can't count and has its numbers reversed.

Short night.

Why does OC have the highest No vote on 1F?   Reflexive no voting on all ballot initiatives?  Something in the water?

That's a good question.  The OC is hardly known for reflexive voting on inoffensive measures.  That tends to be a trait of lower-income education levels, or areas in certain media markets.

[Alcon]

I doubt higher income demographics respond as well as lower income ones to populist items like capping legislature salaries etc.

Ah, forgot what 1F was about.  I also noticed it did clearly better in Northern California -- media coverage variance?
