I know a lot of people that went out and voted last night and we have the results for those propositions.

I know the big one a lot of people were keeping an eye on was Proposition 4 preventing the state to propose an income tax. That one passed making it almost impossible for it to happen in our state. Ten propositions in total were on that ballot. I will put up all the info below along with a little info about the propositions.  All info is taken from KXAN.
