The attempt to get rid of the "three strikes" law in California also failed.

Prop 72
With half the vote counted, the health care mandate is losing by about 125,000 votes out of 5 million counted. It is still too close to call, but based on where the votes have been counted and where they have not yet been tallied, I would say the chances are that it will fail. Still a ton of votes to be counted in Southern California outside LA, where the measure is losing badly.

Based on exit polls for Bush's african american votes in the following areas :

PA: 16% (+9%)
OH : 16% (+7%)
FL : 13% (+6%)

The african american vote did move in Bush's favor in the places where it matters most (almost double). The exit polls are discredited though, and this is all just for entertainment now.
