Here’s how Sacramento County neighborhoods voted on key California ballot measures
Early returns showed Sacramento County residents taking stances that cross the political spectrum on ballot measures.
Voters approved a measure to effectively tax themselves to fix schools, rejected a measure to increase the minimum wage and strongly backed a measure to increase penalties for some drug and theft crimes.
Here’s a look at precinct-level results for three propositions, as of Wednesday afternoon.
Prop. 2: Approve $10 billion in school bonds
About 58% of Sacramento County voters supported this measure, and about 41% opposed it, according to early returns. Most voters statewide have also approved this measure.
Prop. 32: Raise minimum wage to $18 an hour
About 48% of Sacramento County voters supported this measure, and about 51% opposed it, making it one of the closest races in the area, according to early returns. Most voters statewide have also rejected this measure.
Prop. 36: Increases penalties for certain theft and drug crimes.
About 71% of Sacramento County voters supported this measure, and about 28% opposed it, marking a landslide, according to early returns. Most voters statewide have also supported this measure, and the Associated Press within an hour of polls closing Tuesday projected California Prop. 36 to pass.
