Title: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: Meeker on September 22, 2008, 05:04:06 AM Does anyone have county results for this?
Title: Re: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: cannonia on September 22, 2008, 03:09:22 PM There's no statement of vote on the SoS web page for the 1978 general election. :(
The only county I found whose site reported election results from 1978 was Shasta County (http://www.elections.co.shasta.ca.us/ERSummary.aspx?eid=40) (50.03% Yes, 49.97% No). One would probably need to visit a library or contact the SoS to get the county results. Title: Re: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: Alcon on December 19, 2008, 11:35:41 PM Bump
I saw Milk today and they said it lost by 2-to-1, but had it carrying Imperial with 69%. Otherwise it looked like a standard social liberal/conservative mix except it lost in Glenn. wtf? Oh, and it was also two-to-one no in Los Angeles despite being almost 70% in Imperial? And then there was something about the results vs. the "polls," and I got totally confused Anyway, if anyone knows, I'd be very interested... If it only won Shasta by a hair one imagines it went down hard. Title: Re: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: Lunar on December 19, 2008, 11:40:12 PM I saw Milk yesterday.
Crazy. They totally ignored the riots and counter-riots that occurred once White was sentenced.

Yeah, way Hispanic, but my point was it coudn't have failed 2-to-1 statewide with that map (even if it did lose Glenn?!) and failed 2-to-1 in Los Angeles while it won 2-to-1 in Imperial. L.A.'s Hispanic community isn't that pro-gay now, and it certainly wasn't then Title: Re: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: Eraserhead on December 20, 2008, 09:27:11 AM I saw Milk yesterday.

Title: Re: California Proposition 6, 1978 Post by: Liberalrocks on December 17, 2010, 06:57:21 PM I know this post is very old, but I personally am seeking the information requested here. Mainly just on individual county results which I would like to compare to Prop 8 results. I was able to find a map which indicated the measure failed 59% to 41% not quite the 2-1 margin the movie indicated. Perhaps the absentee ballots were not counted on election day and it appeared to be 2-1 in the first reporting. It did fail in Orange, Fresno, Riverside some counties that are heavily republican today. I would like to find county numbers but have not been able to....??
