There are no close races in California's slate of propositions. With 94.5% of precincts reporting at least some results as of 5 a.m. Wednesday, each race is all but decided. Here's where things stand for each proposition:
Proposition 1, which codifies the constitutional right to abortion and contraceptive access in California, is passing by a margin of 65.2% to 34.8%. Proposition 26, which would legalize sports gambling on tribal lands, got a no vote from a whopping 70.1% of voters. Proposition 27, which would legalize online sports betting, is doing even worse. Almost 84% of voters are rejecting it. Proposition 28, which would fund public school arts and music programs, got a yes vote from 61.6% of voters. Proposition 29, which would add additional regulation to dialysis clinics, is losing. Nearly 70% of votes counted were in the "no" camp. Proposition 30, which would add a tax to fund electric vehicles, is the closest race of the bunch. So far, 41% have voted yes and 59% have voted no. Proposition 31, which would extend the ban on certain flavored tobacco products, is on track to pass with 62.4% of voters voting yes.
According to California Target Book research director Rob Pyers, Prop 27's drubbing may be one for the record books.

Idiots that are opposed to online sports betting (which has no victims and provides large revenues) but support taxpayer dollars going to fund school arts and music. Dumbest electorate in the nation.
You like gambling, I take it.
While in principle I believe idiots should be free to give their money to whomever they choose, I’d rather that the idiots give their money to the Indians than the government, so if I’m voting no on the Indian gambling on the grounds that it is bad to enable people who ought to integrate rather than hide in their culturally appropriate casinos lying in wait to scalp those who are not of their tribe, I’m going to vote against the sports gambling.
Probably not a good idea to run these propositions together, as sports gambling will track slightly worse than giving the natives a chance to collect wampum.
Ha ha. Heap big laughs!
I don’t care about your laws!
I voted NO on every single one (after I read them), 99% of the props that make it to the ballot in California are just another way to SWINDLE THE TAX PAYERS!
I voted No on everything.
That’s probably pretty accurate.
Native tribes are supposed to be sovereign nations. If one sovereign has to ask permission of another sovereign nation permission to do anything on the first nation’s land, then somebody ain’t sovereign.
I can’t argue the point. But if I were eligible to vote, I’d vote.
Kill your baby whenever you want and no gambling. There’s something real out of phase about that…
I voted no on 1. And voted no on everything else except 26 which would have let the tribes to offer sports book, and dice gannes and roulette. But no on online gaming because no controls to prevent the under 18s from getting in trouble
Sports Betting has no victims? Well Isn’t That Special!
I voted no on all of them.
We voted no on all the propositions. We voted no on most of the judges.
From what I understand, the legal status of Indian reservations is a mix of sovereignty, but also being subjected to various federal laws.
Strictly speaking, Indian reservations are not completely independent nations. Citizens/residents of the Indian reservations are American citizens. I don’t know the details, but they are both tribal members and American citizens.
According to California Target Book research director Rob Pyers, Prop 27’s drubbing may be one for the record books.
Well, Prop 22, Defn. of Marriage (March 2000) passed 61%-39%.
That’s pretty good. And what happened to it????
The CA state supreme court cured it (overruled it).
Then people approved Prop 8.
Then a US Judge declared that unconstitutional.
So. There is a pathway forward.
Some judges will cure this injustice. It must be an injustice by Indian haters.
