Electoral Victory - for engineered crops

No recounts here. No concession speeches. No live coverage on CNN or teams of lawyers flying in to demand recounts.

But it appears sanity may have started to spread through California. In a move which will dampen some of the enthusiasm of the anti-GMO groups, voters reject engineered crops ban in two California counties - San Luis Obispo, which is about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Humboldt, which is immediately north of Mendocino County. (Mendocino was the first jurisdiction in North America to pass a ban.)

The activists still managed to get a ban passed in Marin County, which is immediately adjacent to San Francisco.
