One thing you have to give the folks in California. They don\u2019t take no for an answer. Even when it\u2019s a resounding no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Californians go to the polls on November 5, Proposition 27 will not be on the ballot. However, an appetite for another referendum that would make it legal in the state to wager on sports via California betting apps<\/a> is still fervent in some circles<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Proposition 27 referendum was on the ballot two years ago during the midterm elections and it was resoundingly defeated. The results saw 82.18% – some 4.5 million people – vote against it, while just 17.72% cast their ballots in favor of Proposition 27. That resulted in one of the largest defeats ever for any proposition in US election history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, it appears that there remains a groundswell of support to keep pushing forward on the issue. Native groups who are operators of the state\u2019s tribal casinos are working together to come up with a new plan to get legal and regulated online sports betting in place in California. But based on the public response to the last attempt, it would appear that they\u2019ve got plenty of work ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
