California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
Good thing all the people who needed it most stayed home this election.
It’s not like the goal is to disenfranchise those people.
Sometimes very literally, mind you.
