"Preliminary election results from the California Secretary of State’s website on Thursday showed that 50.2% of voters chose to approve the measure, while 49.8% voted to reject it. That represents a difference of about 29,000 votes in a race where more than 7 million people turned in a ballot."

"The razor thin results defied predictions made before the state’s March 5 primary election that the measure would sail to victory. Instead, it took more than two weeks before media outlets finally called the result on Wednesday, even as the Secretary of State’s website still describes it as a “close contest” (the office has until April 12 to certify the result)."
