Oregon Initiatives

Oregon votes approved by a 61-39 vote Ballot Measure No. 57: "Increases sentences for drug trafficking, theft against elderly and specified repeat property and identity theft crimes; requires addiction treatment for certain offenders."

They appear to be mistaken. Both the Oregonian editorial and the Secretary of State page linked above indicate that 61 was narrowly defeated.
