TUCSON, Ariz. — Tucson will not become Arizona's first sanctuary city after voters rejected Prop 205 Tuesday night.

The ballot measure was soundly rejected by 71.4 percent of voters in Tucson, according to unofficial election results released by the city, with all precincts reporting. Some remaining ballots will be counted in the coming days.

One judge, a quick trip through the AZ state legislature, and this will get “corrected”.

I don’t think so because they would lose federal funding. I heard the city officials were not in favor of this.

This news item is more telling than the governorship race in Kentucky. Tucson is a liberal town and they don’t want to be a sanctuary city. Maybe even stupid people are getting tired of the wall to wall wetbacks covering this great land.

Tucson is very Rat-infested, this is great news that the sanctuary city BS was overwhelmingly rejected.

How about that!? Tucson is 40+% Hispanic.

I’ll bet that most of the people who voted for this were white liberals.

Kentucky votes communist and The People’s Republic of Tucson chooses sanity. Go figure.

The measure was widely opposed by local leaders including the Pima County Sheriff, Tucson Police officials and Tucson's largely Democratic city council and mayor.

Nonsense, “The city of Tucson, in all respects except being labeled as such, operates as a sanctuary city,” Mayor Jonathan Rothschild said. The mayor was only worried about losing millions of dollars in federal funding!

I was very surprised to see this shot down by over 70% of the voters. This says a lot about next year's elections.

The only consolation is Southern Democrats generally are not as bat crazy and radical as the rest of the U.S. Democrats. But still it’s sad to see Kentucky not elect the GOP choice and pick a Dem.

Could be possible voter fraud? Or as someone else posted, teachers came out to vote while more conservatives sat at home?

They are serious, I have family there and they were worried the University and their ilk would be able to pass it. Glad it didn’t pass.

I read this guy’s record. He could run in California. 0 rating from the NRA. He’s a bad one.

I don’t like my GOP governor, Republican senator, or conservative congressman, but I’ll still do my duty. I don’t understand why Kentucky couldn’t.

You are probably correct, they wanted to show how woke they were to their other lefty friends.

We know he had a low approval rating, and KY has elected a mix of Dem/Rep Governors in the past. They previous Gov was a Dem, then Rep now Dem.
