Which areas voted for prop 8 in California?

With a majority voting for the proposition (that would ban gay marriage overriding a State Supreme Court ruling) there's lots of finger pointing in the gay community. But, there are also maps of which areas voted for and against.

The Sacremento Bee reports that areas with many domestic partnerships (via state records) voted against, and provides a map.

The LA Times provides maps with no interpretation. It also offers a bubble map of funding.

KCRA provides a green and red map of the results. (I thought those were not high on the cartographer palette because of color blindness issues. See for example Cynthia Brewer's work cited here.)
