Arizona Medical Marijuana Vote Still Too Close To Call November 4, 2010 - mpp.org
Medical marijuana still has a chance of passing in Arizona, where as many as 300,000 votes on Proposition 203, the MPP-backed medical marijuana measure, have not yet been counted. It could be many days until we receive final word, but either way it will be close.
The following is from an email MPP executive director Rob Kampia sent last night to our supporters:
Based on the ballots tabulated by election officials last night, the initiative was trailing slightly, with 49.75% in favor, with 50.25% opposed … a difference of less than 7,000 votes out of more than 1.3 million cast.
For the next few days, Arizona government officials will be counting an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 votes that were cast by people whose mail-in ballots arrived at polling stations or elections offices in the final hours of the campaign. They may also need to examine thousands of “provisional” ballots that were cast by people whose residency was in dispute at the polls on election day.
In sum, if our initiative receives 52% of the votes that have yet to be tabulated, our initiative passes.
If the measure ends up winning, it will allow patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other life-threatening conditions to use marijuana with a recommendation from their doctor. It would also authorize the opening of about 120 dispensaries across the state.

Honestly though if 49.75% of people want something don't you think it should get passed anyways? Democracy is weird...

I agree. I also think that way too many uneducated or miseducated people vote. While the basics of democracy are appealing, it still needs some work.

I really really hope this passes. I did turn in my early ballot on the Tuesday so you know that will be +1 on the deficit.
I also like how this prop would take away that retarded rule where you can get a drug dui 10 days after your last smoke.

The bill seems way too restrictive for who is allowed to use mmj, but it's certainly better than all out illegality. Go AZ.
