Arizona voters were in a negative mood when they cast ballots on statewide propositions Tuesday.

Five of the measures were rejected, including Proposition 202, which would have made business-friendly modifications to sanctions for employers of illegal immigrants.

Voters also turned thumbs down on:

- Proposition 200, which would have allowed payday loan outlets to stay in business under new rules.

- Proposition 105, a proposed amendment that would have made it more difficult to pass initiatives.

- Proposition 300, which would have given legislators a pay raise.

- And Proposition 201, a proposal to expand warranty rights for property buyers.

Voters approved two measures. Proposition 102 amends the constitution to ban same-sex marriage and Proposition 100 prohibits new local or state taxes or fees on real estate transactions.

Proposition 101, a proposed amendment to prohibit laws that restrict health care choices, was too close to call.

On Proposition 202, voters sided with the architects of the state's original illegal immigrant employment law who argued it would weaken the existing sanctions.

Those opponents include the original law's author, state Rep. Russell Pearce, and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, who has aggressively prosecuted those apprehended for illegally entering the United States.

Proponents of the measure included restaurant owners and agricultural interests who said the modifications would still punish offenders while protecting those who follow the rules.

The payday loan measure failed despite a significant advertising campaign by proponents. Such outlets are scheduled to become illegal as of July 1, 2010.

The measure would have prohibited a lender from making a new loan to a customer who already has a loan outstanding and would require allowing repaying the loan ahead of schedule. But voters sided with the opposition, including Attorney General Terry Goddard, who said payday loans can be perpetual debt traps for inexperienced borrowers.

Voters by a 2-to-1 margin rejected Proposition 105, which would have required approval by a majority of all registered voters before an initiative could become law. Proponents said it would restrain advocacy groups' demands for increased spending or taxes. Opponents argued that, among other things, it would be unfair to grant authority to those who don't even bother to vote.

Proposition 201 would have required a 10-year warranty on new homes and the use of a licensed contractor to make necessary repairs. Opponents labeled the measure a pressure tactic by labor unions and said it would open the door to frivolous lawsuits.

Voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 100, which amends the state constitution to prohibit new taxes or fees on real estate sales. Supporters argued such fees or taxes would weaken the economy, boost home prices and constitute double taxation because homeowners already pay property taxes.

Opponents said there already are restrictions on new taxes, and the state needed to keep its options open to deal with budget difficulties.
