At this hour, the AP is reporting the Wal-Mart Supercenter ballot measure is losing — badly. With results in from 15 of 29 precincts, the margin is 67.8 percent against to 32.1 percent for.
The AP story is running on SFGate.com and is being updated as results come in.
Had this measure passed, it would have established a precedent for future planned Wal-Mart development in California. These results will set back the Bentonville, Ark., behemoth — and offer some relief to those working against this sort of development.
