While so many people are focused the race for the White House, there were hundreds of down ticket races that impact motorcyclists on a daily basis. Before I get into the results, I wanted to share a humorous statistic with you. In Maricopa County over 10,000 voters wrote in a candidate for President that was not on the ballot. I would love to see how many votes Mickey Mouse received.
PROP 207 (the law would allow limited marijuana possession, use, and cultivation by adults 21 or older; amend criminal penalties for marijuana possession; ban smoking marijuana in public; impose a 16% excise tax on marijuana sales to fund public programs; authorize state/local regulation of marijuana licensees; and allow expungement of marijuana offenses.) passed with 59% of the vote.
PROP 208 (the law would impose a 3.5% tax surcharge on taxable annual income over $250,000 for single persons or married persons filing separately, or $500,000 for married persons filing jointly or heads of households, to increase funding for public education.) received 51.9% yes votes.
