Voters in California Tuesday rejected two ballot measures that would have legalized sports betting in the state.
Sports gambling is legal in 36 states plus the District of Columbia, but the nation’s most populous state will remain without legal sports wagering. The Associated Press declared early Wednesday morning that both ballot measures failed by overwhelming margins.
The first ballot measure, Proposition 26, was backed by the gaming industry and would have allowed casinos and California’s top four horse tracks to offer in-person sports betting.
