Yipchaa!
Ballot measures, Senate, House... lots up for grabs beyond the White House.
Will add more as a remember them, but shamelessly cribbing from the BBC on eight interesting ballot votes to watch:
Will add more as a remember them, but shamelessly cribbing from the BBC on eight interesting ballot votes to watch:
- Oregon voters are being asked to decide whether to decriminalise the possession of small amounts of hard drugs for personal use, including heroin and cocaine.
- Voters in several states will consider proposals for legalising marijuana for both recreational and medical uses
- Abortion rights are also being considered. Colorado Proposition 115 would ban abortions after 22 weeks of pregnancy, unless needed to save the life of the pregnant woman
- Colorado voters are also being asked to approve or reject the reintroduction of gray wolves after a nearly 80-year absence
- Voters in Nebraska and Utah are being asked to vote on measures to get rid of language in their state constitutions that references slavery as a potential punishment for a crime
- Utah voters are also being asked to decide whether to remove gender-specific references from the Constitution. The move would change references to “a person” instead of “he” or “him”
- California’s Proposition 22 would make app-based food delivery and ride-hail drivers independent contractors, not employees
- Also in the state, Proposition 25 would end cash bail, replacing it with a system in which risk assessments would determine the public safety and flight risks of suspects awaiting trial
