Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I personally think it should be at least heavily regulated so it doesn't threaten public safety; I don't mind banning it. I'm afraid of people treating it like ordinary tobacco when it's more like alcohol. Also people tend to submit badly written laws for it.
However, I do sympathize with people saying that penalties are too severe.

@Potatoes Rock: Yes, but it's not very enforced in some places.

Anyone have a proper live stream? Fox news bugged out and I can't find CNN's actual stream, just crowd reaction BS.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?

Um, actually Maine is the only confirmed vote yes. Maine is the first to enact marriag eby ballot, after voting it down before.
Maryland hasn't finished counting yet.
