We passed (last I heard, hadn't checked the final numbers) marsys law, a not so great ballot measure that's going to choke our courts. And (at least in Western Kentucky) we kept state Rep s red, which was very surprising given the local fallout over their tax hikes and attempts to cut teacher pensions.
I really thought people would come to their senses and vote no on Marsy's Law. Just terrible legislation. It was pretty late in the game when I started noticing people talking about it being a bad deal. I think it was packaged very well on ads and did a good job of getting ill-informed voters to vote on emotion rather than researching the issue.
