Well, Californians voted in favor of a $2 per-pack tax on cigarettes, a 1 cent per-ounce tax on sugary drinks, some education bonds, and background checks for ammunition purchases.
Californians also voted against abolishing the death penalty in the state, against price controls on prescription drugs, and against mandatory/regulated use of condoms in pornography production.
Considering that less than half of the states' results matched my individual votes, and the federal election results didn't go as I'd hoped either, I take some comfort in the fact that recreational marijuana was legalized in the State of California (with strong labeling and age-restriction regulations).
