With a hell no, 75% – 25%. In related news, the abortion ban in SD is 10 points behind.
Then it will be a hat trick for the forces of compassion and equality.
It’s holding pretty steady now, but not a lot of precincts reporting. Sigh.
46: Close but presently losing by 3% – this is a very nice surprise, I hope it can hold.
47: Down 10% so it’s almost certainly dead. And if it stays this large, is a resounding F.U. to Jonathan Coors.
48: Could this be the worst showing ever for an initiative? A very clear message from ¾ of the state – they do not want all abortion outlawed.
49: Another leave the unions alone message and an even more resounding F.U. to Job Caldera. Will this guy have any political mojo after this?
50: This looks like it will pass.
51: I thought for sure this would pass, but it is down 20% and so it almost certainly is a no.
52: Giant no on this. Takes a lot of the wind out of the sails of Penry, Brody, etc.
54: Oh, oh – this is the one business really wanted shot down and it’s winning by a bit. Interesting how this all played out. And if this is the one conservative one to pass, puts Lucero in a strong position.
58 & 59: They are losing by almost identical margins. But close enough that there is still a prayer. What’s interesting is if they stay identical, it means the oil companies with their 10 million campaign had zero impact – weird.
where it is passing big time but where most of the vote isn’t counted yet. 54 is something of a puzzle but probably can be challenge in court on 14th amendment grounds. Cud be a long night on the amendment count.
will we ever hear the end of it from Libertad?
I guess two out of three ain’t bad though.
Looks like we both got disappointed on 58 and 59 Dave. That does not bode well for the Guv and Speaker Romanoff (though 58 going down hurts Ritter more than 59 going down hurts Romanoff.)
Romanoff & Kennedy put in an extraordinary effort, did everything right, and had no real opposition.
On 58 the governor had Obama as his first priority (as he should), they had less resources from what I could see, and they had a 10 million opposition that did a very good job.
And both were to fund education.
How can they get equal votes?
As Bob pointed out the votes from Denver aren’t in yet which could swing the vote on 59. Don’t know if I’d agree though that they “did everything right” or had “no real opposition”. I’m registered unaffiliated, got two calls from people opposing 59 and a mailer but got nothing from the pro-59 people in mail or phone. I did see a few pro-59 t.v. ads but they were long after I sent my ballot in and got lost among all the Vote No ads. My favorite is the one-sided yard signs for 59!
58 definitely hits Ritter’s standing but then he seems to be doing everything possible to hurt his chances of re-election. I do think 58 had an uphill battle in this economic environment and most people just read the word TAX and say no thanks
and could still kill it.
likewise, Denver big on O
but it is going down in denver by 30k and denver could also pass O which is up by that much. These two may not be known tonight.
