Contra Costa only has 44% of precincts reporting so far. They're populous enough to help! Right now 54-46 AGAINST :)

Los Angeles has only 65% of precincts in so far, unfortunately tiped 52-48 FOR - let's hope that WeHo hasn't been counted yet, that could shift things

Monterey reporting 34% of precincts, 52-48 AGAINST :) Not the biggest county, but more votes against will help

San Francisco's almost fully in, so no help there, but they were 77-23 AGAINST in a nice populous area

Santa Clara 55-45 AGAINST, with only 53% reporting, and enough population to have an impact (thought not enough to swing it)

It saddens me that 8 passed. There are employees I work with, people that I like, that voted yes on 8. I'm having a hard time thinking nicely of them at the moment. To think that they would willingly deprive someone of rights makes me think less of them. I don't want to feel that way, but can't help it.

The CNN breakdown by age looks promising though. It shows 63% No in voters under 30. There's still hope for the future.

One of the things that depresses me is how short this list is.

I am ashamed and embarrassed to be a Californian today.

Does the passing of 8 imply that all the recent gay marriages in the state will be annulled?

That's yet to be determined, some have said yes, some no.

No one has called it yet, but with 95% reporting and a ~400,000 vote lead it looks like it's going to pass.

I went to bed last night with the hopes of waking up to a different story this morning. It's amazing how I can go from feeling so proud of our country watching Barack give his victory speech to so disgusted.

I will wait until the result is official, but I plan on printing a sign for my car:

"Prop 8: Congratulations Bigots"

:mad:

I'm curious to see how that will work out as well. I read somewhere that the state will most likely continue giving out marriage licenses to same-sex couples for at least a month- until the paperwork all goes through and the department that controls the licenses tells everyone to stop handing out licenses.

:(

That's not good. I will create the situation where couples feel like they have to get married now ready or not.

I was going to print a sign for my car "I voted to NOT take away rights." but I think I may steal your idea.

I am so disgusted by the majority of the population in this state.
