Local Measures

The measure I’ve been most concerned about, California’s Prop 8, is a few hours from meaningful results. But there are other measures of interest around the country. Here’s where they are at the moment.

Arizona is going to ban Gay marriage and is going to keep their draconian restrictions on employing immigrants in place.

Arkansas is looking to ban Gay people adopting children.

Colorado looks as though it’s going to “end affirmative action”, but seems like it’s not going to consider a fetus as a human from the moment of conception.

Florida is probably going to ban Gay marriage.

Massachusetts is looking like they’re going to keep their state income tax.

Michigan is probably going to allow both stem cell research and medical pot.

Nebraska is going to “end affirmative action”

South Dakota is probably going to defeat a draconian anti-abortion measure (again).

We’ll have to wait a few hours to get results from the west coast. Oregon’s measures, of course, are of intense interest to me. So are California’s. More to come.
