Californians brought concerns about an anemic economy with them to the polls Tuesday as they selected their next governor and U.S. senator.
They also were asked to decide on headline-grabbing ballot initiatives seeking to legalize the recreational use of marijuana and suspend the state's greenhouse gas emissions law after being bombarded for months with campaign ads, fliers and telephone calls.
Lori Martinez, 46, of Fresno, said the negative campaigning by candidates was so bad that she simply tuned it out.
"We didn't even answer our phones yesterday or watch TV these past few weeks," Martinez said. "I'm tired of the mud-slinging."
The gubernatorial race has become the most expensive general election campaign for governor in state history, with most spending from Republican billionaire and former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman.
