I think the turnout for Prop 8 reflects the average Californian's assumption that the "NO" side was obviously going to win and didn't particularly need every single vote. I think California drastically underestimated the ability of a vocal fringe to turn out single-issue voters.

I don't have any evidence of that, that's just based on my read of the reaction I saw to it.
