California’s absentee voters have begun sending in their ballots, but even if Prop 19 passes, Republican candidate for Attorney General Steve Cooley might try to stop it, the SacBee reports. “I really am strongly opposed to Proposition 19 for many reasons,” Cooley said during a debate at UC Davis. “I would be inclined to advise that it is unconstitutional and pre-empted by federal law.” A new poll released by Reuters shows Prop 19 down 43-53, but their sample was biased towards Republicans. IPSOS asked 223 Democrats and 223 Republicans how they would vote, but California’s electorate skews sharp toward Democrats, according to voter data provided by the Secretary of State. Meanwhile, California Watch says the No on 19 campaign is scrambling to turn out the vote, after being outfunded 10:1 by the Yes side. More news after the jump.
