Prop 37: Vote Count and Results

The California Right to Know campaign would like to thank all of our supporters, the thousands of volunteers and more than 4.5 million California citizens who voted Yes on 37 to label genetically engineered foods.

Prop_37_results.png

As a result of Prop 37, the conversation on genetically engineered foods has been permanently changed and the movement for honest, transparent labeling taken a giant leap forward.

On election night, the state of California reported that Yes on 37 lost the election, garnering 47 percent of the vote compared to 53 percent on the No side.

As with every election, not every ballot is counted on election night and currently the California Right to Know campaign is awaiting a final vote tally from the state.

As of November 9, 2012, the vote totals are 5,152,927 NO to 4,569,271 YES.

It is rare for the outcome to be reversed when the final tallies are in, but we will continue to monitor the counting until the final results are certified.

Please continue to check back here for the updates on the latest results.

Make that 48.1 for the good guys as of end of Monday November 26! !!! This is definitely not over by any means. There are still 958,311 more votes left to be counted. Difference between good guys and Monsanto evil has shrunk to its lowest ever at 461,877.

Within roughly 1 week for all votes that counted, the good guys got 1,244,123. Monsanto evil only got 578,481. With such hugely lopsided ratio, we keep tearing into the vote differential. Anything is still possible, keep hoping for the best!

Latest vote counting tallies show we have climbed to our highest level yet 48%!!! Still more than 900000 votes to count and the difference between us and Monsanto is around 470000 votes.

Leo, you make a good point. We’re all too worried about BT Corn and RR Corn, while we forget the little things out there. Yeasts for example are modified to carry/make Omega3s, vitamins and other stuff. When these yeasts get loose – who knows what’s going to happen?

I believe that our species’ survival is threatened by genetically engineered or modified organisms. Some people may imagine that by eating 100% certified organic or wild foods that we don’t need to worry about ourselves & others who share our patterns of consumption, even wearing certified organic cotton, wool, & hemp clothing, plus bedding, but please think about transgenic translocation via bacteria, gut or otherwise, & probably other microorganisms. Please think about how easily bacteria, for example, spread through the environment. Here’s where denial will occur in many people’s minds. People need to have enough good reasons to vote for anything. We need to give enough voters scientifically supported reasons to vote for labeling, with citations, or we won’t get enough votes. Many people want those citations, especially in blog sites. We need more scientists on our side. Know any scientists? Thank you.

Today, I had an especially astute friend alert me to the propaganda technique of FUD or “fear, uncertainly, and doubt” as the technique particularly applied to the No on 37 campaign in California. The easily manipulated citizens (“victims” would be a better word) of the Central Valley are apparently quite susceptible to this crude, ancient, but still effective propaganda technique.

The State of Washington and other states and communities need to be on the lookout for any and all propaganda on behalf of Monsanto.

Here’s another state wide map showing actual counts by county if you mouse over it. It states that the count is not yet final.

@Suzanne – here’s the link by county

@Nina – here’s the link for the # to call to see if your vote was counted

@Neal – from what I’ve read the vote typically doesn’t change from the election day results. Why they call it I’m not sure. I think they got more absentee/vote by mail ballots than in the past (almost 50% of ballots cast in 2010 were by mail) and many arrive on election day. With each one they must confirm each voter’s registration status, verify each voter’s signature on the vote-by-mail envelope, and ensure each person did not vote elsewhere in the same election. They also have to count provisional ballots – if your name was not on the list when you show up to vote. They have til Dec 7 to report their final results and the Secretary of State has until Dec 14th to certify the results.

@A Green Road M.Blog – yes, over 3 million not counted. Those totals may not be complete – you have to contact the county election office directly if you want to know their exact current total.

the way I read it, over 3 million votes have still not been counted as of 11/9/12

This is so important. What is wrong with the system when it calls the final vote before all the votes are counted? I read the article from NaturalNews.com on this and they were reporting that out of about 4 counties there were over 1 million votes that had not been counted. And just how many counties are there in California???? The table can turn so easily. I’m watching this, carefully, and I’m sure others are too. Please keep us posted!

How do we know our votes are going to be honored? How can we prevent fraud?

I can’t click the interactive county-specific map.

@Heather – thanks, but am looking for the link to the interactive map above…votes by counties. I saw on the the county breakdown in graph format, but was hoping this website had made it into an interactive map as mentioned above.

We won’t stop no matter what – even if we end up winning Prop 37 after all the votes are counted. We are ready to fight Monsanto and stand up for America!

How do I get to the interactive map? It says “click here” but it’s not clickable. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!

Peoplehave no idea how damaging GMO’s are! They are clueless! Say a farmer grows organic, but the farm next to him grows GamO’s ..believe it or not these things are worse than weeds, ey eill contaminate and genetically modify all fields surrounding thrm. All countries but us have banned GamO’s. Is it that America is stupid or are peopleso self involved they wont take the timeto learn about this! Forgetting even the gpfat that agamO’s cause cancer! People are choosing to kill theirkids voting no onthis..lignorance not so blissful!
