It doesn't look like California is in much of a hurry to post their results.

Yeah, I wonder about that.

I thought California was one of them modern states.

By the way, can anyone hear the radio?  Perhaps those two guys have something.

The numbers above are with 11.1% of returns now in; sorry.

Voter turnout coincidentally was about 11% too.

Any idea which is good, yes or no on the initiatives?  They seem to write them to maximize confusion for the voters.
