Yes, we are not California or Colorado, but we are trending more and more purple. It won't be a slam dunk as it likely was in CA, but I am optimistic it will pass. Young voters, in particular, will vote for this in droves.

If it gets defeated, I'll eat some crow next year. Wish us luck.

And the polling has support for medical marijuana above 60%.

The real question is whether they will get it on the ballot. They need 300,000 signatures, I think. But if they can get it on the ballot, they can win.
