The measure, known as Proposition 19, was rejected by 53.9 percent of the vote.
"Woah dude, you mean I can’t vote anymore? Don’t they like give us some kinda grace period?" said Ken Stafford, a junior and psychology major at the City College of San Francisco. "My teachers usually give me a coupla days extra to get a paper in, especially if I cough and act like I got a cold or something. I figured I’d get to voting sometime next week."
Stafford was not alone. Prop 19 supporters have been showing up at closed polling places, courthouses, Department of Motor Vehicles offices and any place with an official look to it—such as buildings with marble exteriors.
