After all the votes have been finally counted, it seems that proposition 203 has finally passed . . . even after all but three counties defeated it.
What? Only three counties passed it, and those three counties had enough votes to override the rest of the state? What is wrong with THAT picture?
It was just last weekend that Fox 10 Phoenix ran a story on how the ballots were being counted, and as I recall the person in charge of the ballot counting stated that the people counting the ballots were instructed to determine what the voters intent was if the ballot was unreadable. There in lies the problem. These ballots are huge paper ballots that you fill in an oval next to the choice that you want – one next to the yes, and one next to the no. Even a six year old child could do that, so to me if it was “unreadable” then it should not be counted at all.
I just do not understand how ANYONE could be confused over that initiative since it received more local and national publicity than Obama did when he ran his two year campaign for president!
Here is how it came out; If you wanted to get high with a doctors prescription, vote YES. If not, then vote NO.
How confusing could that be?
I think that Arizona DPS needs to start an investigation into just HOW these ballots were counted.
One other thing; Just WHAT is a “Provisional” ballot, and WHY do we have them?
FYI – Smoking MJ does NOT cure anything. It just gets you high. And to my knowledge there has NEVER been an FDA scientific study to determine the benefits (if anything other than getting someone high if you want to call THAT a benefit) of smoking MJ.
