While most eyes focused on the White House on election day, Americans voted on measures affecting local communities.

Take Sonoma County, California, for example.

Voters there cast a ballot in favor or against Measure J.

This measure proposes phasing out existing Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and banning any future operations in the county.

Measure J would apply to beef, swine, poultry and other livestock.

A cow/calf operation with 1,000 head or more would be considered a large CAFO.

Voters ultimately rejected Measure J on election day.
