SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA: "No" votes for Propositions 26 and 27 are leading ahead of final results on Tuesday. Both the propositions would amend California’s constitution to allow for sports wagering, and one of the major differences between the two is how the bets would be placed.

Prop 26 would allow for in-person sports wagering at tribal casinos and four California racetracks. This would notably include those at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. It would also introduce dice games like roulette at casinos. More than 50 California tribes backed Prop 26, including San Diego County’s Barona Band of Mission Indians and the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.
