California Democrats won a two-thirds majority in the State Senate as expected, but they also may appear to be about to win a supermajority in the State Assembly as well.
A few notes on the election and what it 'means.' Much will be said about how Obama's win and Romney's loss reflects policy, politics, demographics, social issues, cultural issues, etc. In my opinion, most of the commentary on the presidential race is wrong.
In presidential elections, especially since 2000, it is a knee jerk reaction for members of the party that lost to blame third party and independent voters. After the results of election night, some Republicans blame Gary Johnson and other third party candidates for Mitt Romney’s loss in key battleground states.
Proposition 31 failed with only 40% of the vote with 76% of precincts reporting.
Should Prop 31 had passed the state would have needed to implement sweeping new provisions, one of the largest overhauls of California's government in recent memory.
