California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Friday that he will postpone his annual “State of the State” address, which he had planned to deliver on Monday, March 18.
The apparent reason for the delay: the vote count for the passage of Proposition 1, a ballot measure to spend money on mental health resources, is too close to call.
According to the California Secretary of State’s office, Newsom’s proposition currently has 50.1% “yes” votes, and 49.9% “no votes.”
Only about 20,000 votes — out of over 7 million counted — separate “yes” from “no.” And the most shocking fact of all is that while Newsom spent heavily to promote the “yes” vote, opponents of Proposition 1 hardly spent any money at all.
