Um, what if they both win?

[lilfluff]

So, 105 - 71% yes and 106 - 51% yes; 201 - 54% yes and 206 - 57% yes.

What happens if all four of those pass? I can't recall anyone saying what the rule is. Assuming the ratios stay the same would 105 and 206 win because they passed with a greater margin? An initiative run off? Legislature picks and choses between the two like Congress's conference committee? (Well, when the conference committee isn't inserting their own entirely new stuff) The universe explodes due to paradox? All four get written into law making for guaranteed court cases to argue out the contradictions?

Maybe this has been in the news, I've largely been avoiding TV and Radio for the las week...

EDIT: D'oh. Okay, clearly I'm too tired to read the results correctly. 105 and 106 are both those percentages voting no, and no is leading on 206 as well.

Still, the question still is interesting to ask. What does happen if such mutually contradictory initiatives pass?

I think that whichever gets more votes takes precedence where they conflict. But I wouldn't swear to it.

I think its whichever has the most votes if 2 (or more) competing initiatives pass
