What a night.
After hours of refreshing election results and drinking way too many cups of coffee, here’s what we know about how California’s 12 statewide propositions are faring so far.
Two ballot measures passed and three failed, according to the Associated Press. Of the remaining seven, one is leading, three are falling behind, and another three are too close to call. Here are the latest numbers from CalMatters’ live tracker, which also tracks results for state Assembly, state Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives races:
Passed:
- Prop. 17, allow parolees to vote: 59.0% yes, 41.0% no
- Prop. 22, gig-worker classification: 58.4% yes, 41.6% no
Failed:
- Prop. 20, expand criminal penalties: 37.7% yes, 62.3% no
- Prop. 21, rent control: 40.2% yes, 59.8% no
- Prop. 23, regulate dialysis clinics: 36.0% yes, 64.0% no
Leading:
- Prop. 24, more data privacy: 56.1% yes, 43.9% no
Falling behind:
- Prop. 16, reinstate affirmative action: 43.9% yes, 56.1% no
- Prop. 18, allow some 17-year-olds to vote: 44.9% yes, 55.1% no
- Prop. 25, eliminate cash bail: 44.6% yes, 55.4% no
Too close to call:
- Prop. 14, bonds for stem cell research: 51.1% yes, 48.9% no
- Prop. 15, hike commercial property taxes: 48.3% yes, 51.7% no
- Prop. 19, property tax breaks: 51.5% yes, 48.5% no
Meanwhile, we still don’t know who the next President of the United States will be — but the latest Associated Press tally pegs former Vice President Joe Biden at 238 electoral college votes and President Donald Trump at 213, with 270 needed to win. The results were a little clearer in California, where Biden had at last count claimed 65.2% of the vote. If he wins the Golden State by 36 points, it would be the largest victory margin for a Democratic presidential candidate in state history.
