What is happening with Proposition 101 in Arizona? One news report:

A scant 20 voting precincts remain unaccounted for out of 2,239 statewide, yet those votes could make the difference between whether or not Proposition 101 passes.

With the tallies at 50.1 percent against the proposition and 49.9 percent voting yes, the two sides are deadlocked until more ballots are counted.

Currently, votes in favor and opposed are separated by a margin of 2,124 out of over 1.7 million ballots cast.

The ballot initiative, backed by Medical Choice for Arizona, would guarantee that citizens would always have the right to choose and possibly pay for whichever health plan they wished, without interference, and that no law could incur a fine for opting out of or obtaining health care coverage.
