Two weeks after Election Day, the Associated Press has called the final two unresolved California ballot measures.
Voters rejected Proposition 53, which would have required voter approval for any project paid for with $2 billion or more in revenue bonds. It's a victory for Gov. Jerry Brown, who invested his own campaign funds to defeat the initiative backed by a wealthy Delta farmer who opposes a large water project.
Meanwhile, Californians have passed Proposition 66, which seeks to expedite the death penalty process by — among other things — placing time limits on legal appeals. However, the measure still faces a legal challenge filed by opponents of capital punishment two days after the election. A separate initiative that would have abolished the death penalty in California failed.
Here's a measure-by-measure look at the results:
Proposition 51, K-12 And Community College Funding Bond: PASSED
Proposition 52, Private Hospital Fees For Medi-Cal: PASSED
Proposition 53, Voter Approval of Revenue Bonds: FAILED
Proposition 54, Legislation and Proceedings and the Legislature: PASSED
