A TALE OF TWO CAMPAIGNS: As all good Instapundit readers know by now,
has been soundly rejected by California voters. This happened despite its supporters having spent $27 million to the NO side’s $1.72 million.

ACLU, Inc. ($2,450,538.70)
Open Society Policy Center ($2,000,000)
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. ($1,500,000)

Gwendolyn Marion Mathilde Sontheim ($200,000)
The San Francisco Foundation ($200,000); Genentech USA ($200,000).
The No campaign did not receive a single donation that large. Its largest donation came from Students for Fair Admissions for $50,000. The second largest donation from … uh … me. We won anyway, because Californians aren’t buying identity politics.
A list of the 34 largest donors to NO side (contributing $5000 or more) is available here. If you donated (as many Instapundit readers did), thank you!
