Proposition 19 Losing

[David Morris]

A freind in SF just told me that it got 75% of the vote there.  He
also said that the law was poorly crafted, and the opponents magnified
the flaws, but that with a better written proposition next time, it
will pass.

"First and foremost among [the lessons to be learned] would be that
you need to schedule this vote to coincide with a general election
when young people will vote. The theory that putting Prop 19 on the
ballot would drive youth turnout up was cute, and perhaps even worth
trying, but as best we can tell absolutely nothing changes the fact
that young people don’t vote in midterms."
