Among a stacked California ballot of competitive local, state, and national races were 14 propositions—three of which centered on Proposition 40, a proposed one-time 5% wealth tax on billionaires. On Monday night, the Associated Press officially called the race, confirming that voters rejected Prop 40—only 48% of voters said yes. USC students said they weren’t surprised by the outcome.
