Prop 19 not Going to Pass...Down by 300,000 Votes
I hate this but we have to keep up the fight.

No: 1,351,823 56%
Yes: 1,051,981 44%

It's being beaten by about 300,000 votes...which is a LOT! I think a lot of Dems probably voted NO...youth turnout probably not that good either. This was only going to pass if young voters came out to vote. Better to get it on the 2012 ballot when people will come out to vote for Obama's re-election instead of a midterm that many overlook.

2. This old person did vote yes
So did my husband and my neighbor who's a grandmother. We don't want our grandkids to smoke pot, but we don't want them to go to jail if they do

3. I live in VA and I don't expect
weed to ever be legalized in this uptight, puritan, pain in the butt state.

4. Yeah, republicans are only for personal freedoms when its convenient
Somehow they love to trample all over freedom when it comes to certain drug laws, family planning, and gay rights.
