12:12 A.M.: According to the Los Angeles Times, two of the ballot measures pushed by Arnold appear to be failing. The two are Refs. 76 and 77, which would have limited state spending and created non-partisan redistricting, respectively. These were the two that were doing worst in the polls going into Election Day.

Interestingly, the article says that the two are failing "narrowly." If that's really true, then it seems possible one of his other reform referendums could pass.
