WITH 68% OF THE VOTE IN, Massachusetts’ initiative to abolish the state income tax still has 47% of the vote.

UPDATE: Okay, it’s finished at 45% of the vote. I noticed that CNN was covering the failure of the medical-marijuana referendum in Arizona, but didn’t mention this one at all.

Call me crazy, but I think that a 45% vote to abolish the freakin’ income tax — and in Massachussetts of all places — is a bigger deal.
