"Preliminary election results from the California Secretary of State’s website on Thursday showed that 50.2% of voters chose to approve the measure, while 49.8% voted to reject it. That represents a difference of about 29,000 votes in a race where more than 7 million people turned in a ballot."

"The razor thin results defied predictions made before the state’s March 5 primary election that the measure would sail to victory. Instead, it took more than two weeks before media outlets finally called the result on Wednesday, even as the Secretary of State’s website still describes it as a “close contest” (the office has until April 12 to certify the result)."

1. There are far too many mentally ill homeless that are not getting any help. Yes, this Prop.

takes away some of the mentally ill’s personal freedoms by institutionalizing accute cases but also provides beds, care and help to become self sufficient.

For probably the first time in my life, I voted against the recommendation of the League of Women Voters and the ACLU of whom I’m a 40 year card-carrying member.

This prop is Gavin’s baby so let’s give it a try.
