Utah's voters said "no" to vouchers.  The count, with 97% of precincts reporting was 62% to 38%.  This editorial in today's The Salt Lake Tribune calls on voucher supporters to accept the vote and turn their attention to supporting public schools.

"Vouchers are dead. It's time to move on.

The perennial pet legislation of the Utah Legislature's deeply conservative leaders was soundly defeated by a power greater than they: the people of Utah. Now we'll see whether the Republican-controlled legislative branch will see the vote as the anti-voucher statement it is, or ignore the result and try to foist another version of this far-right invention on Utah's more sensible electorate.

We urge the proponents of taxpayer-funded private school vouchers to graciously admit defeat of their effort to create an expensive and constitutionally suspect public/private system and, instead, to invest the same wholehearted effort in adequately funding Utah's public schools...."

Update:  AFT's statement here. 

And here (!) Patrick Byrne insults Utahns because they voted down vouchers, saying the referendum was a "'statewide IQ test'" that Utahns failed."  That kind of thoughtful analysis should be a real asset to future efforts to pass voucher referenda.
