E: anyway it's obviously not trolling as evidenced by the 'taxpayer' comment. He's a true believer. There's a whole bunch of substantive differences between being poor and black in the US and poor and white, and one difference that is relevant to US politics is that the former group doesn't elect poo poo heels to prominent office. menino fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Nov 4, 2015 |

Yes to both. Unfortunately for the latter group, the crony capitalist bits were necessary to raise enough funding to get it on the ballot to begin with, so weed in Ohio without federal legalization is pretty hosed at this point.

Solkanar512 posted:Do you have any other lovely responses? you seem to be ignoring the important part of your info dump: quote:Along with your residential address, you must also provide a valid mailing address. An accurate, valid mailing address is essential in order to receive ballots and election information on time. This can include a post office box, address of a friend or relative, shelter, or general delivery at a local post office. So yeah, if you are homeless and have shelter access, you can vote (if you still are at the same shelter months later to get your ballot of course). I think you may be under-informed as to the state of America's homeless if you think most/all of them have longterm access to a shelter or a friend with a mailing address.

It needs funding and signatures to get on the ballot. Neither of those will happen after beating Issue 3 just got. Also, Ohioans Against Prohibition and Responsible Ohioans have tried before and failed before. Ohio just threw away it's chance at legalization because of MUH FREE MARKETS! The irony...

If I recall it's the same ballot initiative that has failed to get enough signatures in the past. There might be others as well, but the one I've been seeing already failed once. RO is also apparently going to "revise" their initiative and try again. Imagine a weird election during a presidential election with multiple legalization initiatives on the ballot. Quick edit: In reality, neither will get on the ballot realistically. wilderthanmild fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Nov 4, 2015 |

Why is it that other states just can't seem to get it right like in Colorado? The sheer amount of innovation and growth that has been unleashed out here is amazing. Is it that the process for putting these legalization initiatives on the ballot in other states leaves them open to fuckery by the rich and connected trying to stake out another business fiefdom? Thankfully, Prop BB passed by nearly 70% so the schools and other state programs will have $60 million in additional funding. Zeno-25 fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Nov 4, 2015 |

While those good things are happening, our tax crank's measure to require the legislature to offer a supermajority requirement on tax increases or sharply cut the sales tax is leading. Washington is like all other states. Conservative assholes in the countryside balanced out by queer Socialists in the cities.

Chill out buddy. You just started talking about how mailing ballots were so great, and I pointed out one of many disenfranchised communities by mailing ballots. Don't take things so personally. Election day being a national holiday and mail-in ballots are both two non-contridictory pro-voting policies. Kinda hard to take your whole "benefit of the doubt" part seriously, when you won't extend that to others. Zeno-25 posted:Why is it that other states just can't seem to get it right like in Colorado?
