Ballot measures did as expected. Proof I think that messaging was the Democrat's flaw. In 2012 they controlled it much better but in 2014 there was to much negativity. People believe Obama = bad if they see it on TV.

Anyone have any insight on the GMO labeling proposition that only narrowly lost?  I'm sure it was massively outspent yet almost passed, closer outcome than in Colorado or years past in Cal and Wash.  I wonder if it rode the coattails of the marijuana legalization vote.
