California Election Results 2012 LIVE: Proposition Results Live, Prop 30 and Prop 37 Behind

ositionpTuesday’s election will not only decide the next president of the United States, but may result in a supermajority for state Democrats in California. With the state’s 55 electoral college votes all but officially cast for Obama, eyes have turned to the eleven propositions facing California voters and a series of contested state and congressional races up for grabs.

New electoral rules and redrawn districts open the possibility of a supermajority for Democrats in California, in a state that already has a Democratic governor and Democratic majorities in both state legislatures. Democrats currently hold 25 of 40 seats in the state senate, needing to gain only two more seats to achieve a supermajority capable of passing tax legislation without the threat of a Republican veto.

"Most people have a visceral reaction to one party controlling everything. A supermajority would not be a good thing," Bob Huff, the state Senate Minority Leader told Reuters.

Democratic strategists have tried to assure Californians that moderate Democrats in Sacramento would ensure against an uncontested liberal oligarchy. On Tuesday, voters will decide the future of the legislature’s makeup, and whether to move the state further left.

Beyond the State House and Senate races, Californians will vote on eleven propositions on Tuesday, deciding everything from the fate of the death penalty to tax raises to fund clean energy and labels for genetically modified foods. This year’s long ballot prompted the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation to produce a sing-along roundup to help voters navigate their way through California's lengthy ballot.
