It’s actually a really big election year for us in Ohio. We’re voting on legalizing abortion and weed in the state, which is insane for an “off-year” election. What’s even more crazy is that both look likely to pass.
Im in a red state that was never going to let medical marijuana pass, it’s been great fun seeing dispensaries on every corner since it did. You’ve got this, Ohio.
Oklahoma?
Afraid so.
You have my deepest sympathy, at least it’s not Wyoming
KNEW IT!
I was stunned by the dispensaries every 100’ when I went home to Tulsa a couple of years back.
We voted at 10 am, and this is the first year I’ve seen so many young women at our location. There’s been so much advocacy for issue one that I’m very hopeful.
I really hope 1 and 2 both pass. I always vote on election day because I like the ceremony of it. Unfortunately I got so sick yesterday into today that I can’t even stand for more than a couple minutes without feeling like I’m gonna pass out. Maybe I’ll start early voting now.
Not to put a damper on some of the excitement for Andy’s win in Kentucky but I don’t think it’s as good a predictor for 2024 as the reporting makes it seem. Kentucky has elected 2 Republican governors in my lifetime, both were deeply unpopular one term governors who were succeeded by someone named Beshear. For basically ever other statewide office and for national offices Kentucky has been reliably Republican since 2000, but we elect Democrats for Governor.
