WASHINGTON — Change.org, a group with some fans in the new administration, announced on Friday the 10 winners of its first "Ideas for Change in America" competition.

More than 658,000 online votes were cast to winnow the 10 favorites from more than 7,800 ideas, said Change.org's chief executive, Ben Rattray.

Some winning ideas seemed fresh, such as granting citizenship to young illegal immigrants who graduate from college or serve in the military. Others, such as legalizing marijuana, have been perennials among progressives since the days when they called themselves liberals.
