Here are the results of the most controversial propositions and elections in the country.

• Prop K, which would have barred local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex, was not passed in San Francisco.

• Arkansas voters passed Initiative Act 1 with 57% of the vote yesterday. The measure bans unmarried couples in that state from adopting or foster parenting. It doesn't affect single parents' ability to adopt.

• Prop 8, which outlaws gay marriage in California, passed by a narrow margin. As the vote counting continued, opponents of Prop. 8 filed a lawsuit directly with the state Supreme Court -- whose May 15 ruling legalized same-sex marriage -- asking the justices to overturn the measure. Florida and Arizona passed similar measures.

• Al Franken was defeated in Minnesota by 571 votes. He is demanding a recount.

• Michigan legalized medical marijuana.

• In Colorado and South Dakota, voters rejected ballot measures that would have led to new abortion bans.
