3. My wife was actually going for it until we

Looked at each others ballots. The unopposed and saturated TV commercials had convinced her that it should be passed.
She's not stupid....but this is what money does in elections.

6. Another fine example of a bought election result.

The insurance companies poured millions of dollars into defeating this utterly sensible proposition.

7. I blame this on the lack of common sense.

[SunSeeker]

8. People don't read and/or don't trust the summaries in voter pamphlets.

They look to see who is endorsing the prop. Sadly, no high profile folks came out in favor of 45, and the pro folks appear to have had no money, judging by the lack of yes on 45 ads.

9. People lack common sense. It's a major fucking problem.

10. Reading is for squares!

Who has the thirty seconds to read what a proposition is anyway?

[JRLeft]

11. Like the Raiders A's sig. Are you Dubs fan too?

[Jamaal510]

12. Thanks.

I'm not really a Warriors fan, though, since they're about to move back across the Bay. I watch them sometimes when I'm looking for something on TV, but that's it.

14. I feel it, I'm from the town but live in the city now.

13. It's the part about using credit scores for insurance

That's why the industry opposed it, and they spent megabucks years ago back in Oregon (another blue state, mind you) to defeat it by playing divide and conquer with the voters.

This result does not surprise me. The insurance industry is completely full of discrimination, and they like it that way, makes them a lot more money charging people for crap that doesn't even affect their risk factors.
