2010 California Proposition 16
The election was marked by low overall voter turnout, with a stronger turnout from Republican voters, due to several high-profile Republican primary contests on the same ballot, and few Democratic primary contests. The California Republican Party endorsed Proposition 16, while the California Democratic Party, Green Party of California, and Peace and Freedom Party opposed it, and the Libertarian Party of California took no position. After the election, a wider, 16 point margin of defeat was noted in the northern and central California counties served by Pacific Gas & Electric, while other counties supported the proposition.
Results
The proposition was rejected by an approximate 5 point margin.
