One side of the election that gets left out of the media and the threads is the possible impact of ballots about marijuana decriminalisation in nine states. From what I've read that's pretty likely to be supported across the party lines. It's rather good to think that beneath all the hate talk there'll be supporters of Clinton and Trump who'll be voting the same way on this - and mostly in favour it is reported.

If these ballots encourage younger people who otherwwise wouldn't vote to do so, that might help Clinton, but generally it seems that that isn't expected to happen.

If all the ballots pass, especially in California, that could be a tipping point. I reckon England will almost be the last place, possibly skightly ahead of Saudi Arabia and Isis, if that's still around.
