Yeah, this one was wild. A bunch of our ballot measures went badly, including the heavier sentencing for drugs one getting overwhelming support, even among Democrats. The minimum wage increase also get rejected.

This was apparently the election where people decided to be their worst selves.

And vote against their own interests, like prop 33 (rent control).

Interesting to watch the numbers change as ballots continue to be counted. There's still a huge amount of uncounted mail-in ballots.
