With almost 20 percent of the vote counted, all but one California ballot measure is failing by margins of at least 20 points. The only winner looks like Prop. 1F, the largest symbolic measure to dock legislators’ pay when they can’t pass a timely budget. This will hope send a clear message to Sacramento that voters want them to get back to work and find a better solution to this fiscal mess.
