California Democrats endorse “no” vote on online betting measure
| By Daniel O'Boyle
The California Democratic Party has recommended that those in the state vote against a proposal that would legalise online betting.
The party – which dominates California elections, having controlled both houses of the state legislature since 1996 – announced its official list of endorsements for ballot measures that will appear in the 2022 November election.
That election will include two ballot measures related to sports betting. Tribe-backed Proposition 26, titled the California Legalize Sports Betting on American Lands Initiative. would allow for retail sports betting only on tribal lands.
