"Oregon GMO Labeling Proponents Concede Defeat"

"Proponents of an Oregon ballot measure requiring labels on genetically modified foods conceded defeat Thursday after a judge ruled against them and an automatic recount appeared unlikely to sway the outcome.

The Yes on 92 campaign said there are no legal options remaining that could lead them to victory.

'The labeling movement will continue to grow,' the campaign said in a statement. 'We draw strength from the fact that we came so achingly close to winning this vote, despite being outspent by more than $12 million.'"
