Right after it passed, I crunched the numbers in a <a href="http://politeaparty.blogspot.com/2010/06/voters-pass-proposition-14-in.html" rel="nofollow">post at Poli-Tea</a> and showed that though prop 14 passed with 54% of the vote, voter turnout was very low, as per usual in a primary election. That 54% of the vote was equal to just 12% of registered voters in the state!d.erishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186054212519025557noreply@blogger.com
