It's actually a really big election year for us in Ohio. We're voting on legalizing abortion and weed in the state, which is insane for an "off-year" election. What's even more crazy is that both look likely to pass.

We voted at 10 am, and this is the first year I've seen so many young women at our location. There's been so much advocacy for issue one that I'm very hopeful.

Im in a red state that was never going to let medical marijuana pass, it's been great fun seeing dispensaries on every corner since it did. You've got this, Ohio.

You have my deepest sympathy, at least it's not Wyoming

KNEW IT!

I was stunned by the dispensaries every 100' when I went home to Tulsa a couple of years back.

I really hope 1 and 2 both pass. I always vote on election day because I like the ceremony of it. Unfortunately I got so sick yesterday into today that I can't even stand for more than a couple minutes without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. Maybe I'll start early voting now.
