Curious, would you apply the same logic to the other propositions that received massively disproportionate funding on one side (e.g. Prop 16) but still are failing? Perhaps the voters of California don't 100% share the views of the people elected to represent them. That is the disadvantage of first-past-the-post democracy.

From ballotpedia[1][2]:

Support Prop 16 - $20m

Oppose Prop 16 - $1m

Support Prop 22 - $202m

Oppose Prop 22 - $20m

We are talking about a $19m difference verses $182m. These are in no way similar campaigns.

From another angle: the Support Prop 16 people spent 20x their opposition, while the Support Prop 22 people only spent 10x their opposition.
