Three major progressive ballot initiatives in California related to affirmative action, rent control, and gig economy contractors failed to pass or were on course to fall short as of Wednesday morning.

One liberal ballot initiative that succeeded is Proposition 17, which will allow people on parole for felony convictions to be allowed to vote before completing their sentences. It passed 59%-41%, according to the New York Times.
