California Sports Gambling Initiative
Sportshandle.com: California Sports Gambling Initiative Among Greatest Losses in State Election History
Despite a record of nearly $500 million spent and raised – the most expensive ballot in U.S. history – to bring sports betting to California, a new Sportshandle.com story reports that the initiative was one of the worst losses in the state’s election history.
If passed, Prop 27 would have modified the state’s constitution to legalize mobile wagering.
Overall, the 83% to 17% defeat ranks as one of the most lopsided in the state’s history, making Prop 27 among the 99.6th percentile in terms of the scale of the loss, dating back more than a century to 1910.
SportsHandle.com’s Mark Saxon goes in-depth on Prop 27 ranking No. 6 all-time as the worst bill ever in the state of California. The only propositions that have fared worse than Prop 27 fared at the voting include:
- Prop 101 (1988)
- Prop 24 (1914)
- Prop 13 (1940)
- Prop 24 (1938)
- Prop 5 (1922)
