Most Measures Fail 2014 Statewide Election

Out of the eight statewide measures, all but one appears to have failed in the 2014 General Election.

With 89% of all precincts reporting, Measure 2 appears to have succeeded with a large margin at 76%, garnering more than than three quarters of the votes cast. Measure 2 bans any government agency from collecting taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate.

The other measures, some of which have proven quite controversial, have all appeared to have failed.
