WORLD Report: Ballot initiatives
Check back here throughout the evening for updates on key state ballot initiatives. And see WORLD’s interactive national map for up-to-the-minute election returns for all U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor, and ballot initiative contests.
1:41 a.m.: California voters have voted down a measure that would have made their state the first to legalize the use and sale of marijuana.
12:00 a.m.: South Dakota bans two kinds of smoking: cigarettes in bars, casinos, and restaurants; and medical sales of marijuana.
10:25 p.m.: English becomes the official language of Oklahoma: Voters approved a ballot initiative that requires state workers to conduct all business in English. The state also approved three more initiatives to: 1. Prohibit courts from considering Sharia law when deciding cases; 2. Require voters to show a government-issued I.D.; 3. Prohibit requirements for individuals to purchase health care.

Dope peddlers win big in Cali. Had 19 passed there woulda gone all their profits.
Still, on NPR they interviewed a gal who knew a lotta Californians who puffed weed with no discernible medical need.
Gee, ya think?

Bravo for Oklahoma.
Meanwhile in Houston you can get a ballot in Viet, Russian, Spanish and a few other immigrant languages. Ya Basta, as they say!
