Also check your states amendments, I forgot about them until well after Florida's results came in but medical marijuana passed by 71%.
California, Nevada, and Massachusetts passed their legalized recreational marijuana initiatives, too. Florida voted to expand medical access and Nebraska approved it.
Also, Tammy Duckworth beat Mark Kirk in IL.
Small victories.
This actually makes me feel a bit better. Dude is scum.
He needed to go. But now where will all the idiots get their "cops have tanks" photos?
Good fucking riddance. I can only hope that overall things will at least stick around the center rather than shifting too far to the right.
As someone from Arizona, glad to finally be rid of one of the main reasons for our bad image. Too bad we've still got a lot more to go...
In NC, Governor Pat "Transgendereds in our bathrooms!!" McCrory was also voted out. Silver linings.
