Post by Turdacious »

While Hillary and Trump sucked the air out of the room, a lot of important shit was passed/defeated at the state level. Discuss.

Right to work amendment to the Virginia Constitution went down by about the same proportion that Hillary beat Trump in VA.

Colorado's ColoradoCare initiative, which would have created universal health care for Colorado, went down in flames, even losing among Democrats.

And the big daddy IMHO:
Oklahoma State Questions 780 and 781 passed during the Nov. 8 general election. Set to become effective July 1, 2017, State Question 780 will diminish certain non-violent drug and theft-related crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, simultaneously changing their maximum penalty to one year in prison and a fine of $1,000. The changes are intended to save the state money by decreasing the number and duration of incarcerations. The companion bill, State Question 781, will then set forth a plan to distribute the savings to different counties for the purpose of supporting mental health and substance abuse services.
