摘要：Many U.S. states have been considering proposals to introduce mandatory labeling requirementsfor foods containing GMOs. This paper analyzes precinct-level voting patterns in the case ofCalifornia’s Proposition 37, which was narrowly defeated in the November 2012 ballot. Thosevoting patterns can be predicted primarily by support for Democrats, their platforms, and PresidentObama. Projections using our estimated model imply that a majority of voters in only three offifty states (Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Vermont) plus the District of Columbia would have passedProposition 37 had it been on their ballots in 2012.
