Three measures were on the Nov 5. ballot for San Diego voters including Measure E which would raise the sales tax to 8.75% to support city infrastructure projects.

A countywide sales tax increase and a separate sales tax hike in the city of San Diego both appeared to be falling short of the support each would need to pass based on early election returns Tuesday night.

Sales tax measures in San Diego and across the county were trailing on election night despite support from elected officials, including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria.
