one of the biggest initiatives on the ballot istoo. i'm dan ashley. >> and i'm carolyn johnson. let's get to the results and you can watch them. victory for president obama and mitt romney and they are winning in every state and national race. >> the race drawing most attention here is prop 29, the initiative that would tack on a it is 1 tax per pack of cigarettes for cancer research. at this moment as you can see

with roughly one-quarter of the precincts reporting it is yes, 50% tie, 50%0% no. >> abc7 political reporter mark matthews is at the prop 29 -- yes on prop 29 gathering in lafayette. >> the size of the crowd has shrinking, but don't let that fool you. the attention to the proposition has been nationwide. big tobacco ponied up $47 million to quash this measure that would add $1 per pack, the voter support began falling after tobacco financed ads and started hitting radio and television. tonight the early returns showed the state evenly divided at 9:00 with 8% of the pray sinks -- precincts reporting. the measure was winning 50 tw to 48% -- 52 to 48%, but it was 54 to 49 and by 10:00 it was close to 50/50. the former state legislator is the co chair on the yes on 8 campaign. >> i expected that it would be

a toss up. i don't believe we are going to know until every ballot is counted. first of all it is a low turnout. h.condly we are sort of david >> tobacco taxes have been proven to reduce smoking. opponents say prop 29 would hurt the economy by taking $735 million a year out of pockets of california smokers. >> i am hoping that it is a no. this is one of those things that you don't want to see passed. we have too many in california, and we have so many other pressing problems diverting money to something like this is wrong when it is needed elsewhere in the state. >> right now it is 50/50, but it doesn't bowed well for prop 29 -- bode well for prop 29's passage. the big metropolitan areas in the bay area have gone yes on

29. they are already reporting a large percentage of their votes. it is the more rural areas of the state where 29 have done badly that have yet to report the majority of their votes. reporting from lafayette, mark matthews, abc7 news. >> thank you. the ballot is prop 28 whichon alters term limits from members of the state legislature. >> it has passed. it reduces the total number of years for legislators from 14 to 12, but allows spawmakers to spend all of them in the senate or the assembly. >> and here is a look at some of the measures voters in the bay area are deciding right now. san francisco measure a will open the city's garbage contract to competitive bidding and losia wide by a wide margin. >> and coit tower is getting support. measure b is leading. it would prioritize funds raised at coit tower to preserve the fragile frees scows there. >> and voters overwhelmingly

voting for ut cking -- for cutting pensions. >> abc7 news reporter quintana is live at city hall. >> this is pitt that pitted the mayor and a majority of the city council here in san jose against city unions, a coalition of city unions. the voters had to decide how much they would allow the city leaders to modify employee pensions. the san jose mayor pushed to put it on the ballot and had voters aside after extended negotiations that didn't go as he had hoped. measure b would modify the city charter and create two pension options for employees. they can keep the current benefits or employees can pay the same now for reduced benefits and more years of service. mayor reid says the current set up is unsustainable. >> this is more than 50% of payroll for the retirement benefits. it is a huge number.

it is impossible to sustain. >> we offered significant changes to the retirement that would have saved the city millions of dollars. those would have been legal and we could have moved forward. >> the coalition of unions against measure b spent the day calling voters and talk vots around the city and urging opposition. but if measure b does pass, which it seems it might if the trend continues so far from the returns we have seen, that is the 2 to 3 margin for those supporting measure b, unions have said they are going to challenge the results in court. no matter how tonight ends up even after all of the votes have been counted, there is a pretty good chance this measure will not be over. reporting live in san, sergio keen -- quintana, abc news. we have 30 special taxes and bonds in the bay area on the ballot to support schools, libraries, special districts and more than two-thirds are

currently passing. c one of those is measure in santa clara county. it only needs 55% and it looks like it will get that and more. >> in the east bay though, measure c, a parcel tax in alameda is failing. it has barely over 50% at this point, but needs a two-thirds majority to pass. >> right now one of the closest races may be in alameda county's 15th congressional district. that's where the 80-year-old incul bent is facing the county prosecutor eric swalwell. while stark is winning it is likely those two will compete in november. >> in the 9th con greeningsal -- congressional district mcnerny is trying to febd off two g -- fend off two gop challengers there. >> in a contest wisconsin's republican governor won a bitterly contested recall election. >> scott walker defeated a challenge by tom barrett by a 54-45% margin.
