Colorado voters approve state marijuana tax
Colorado voters approve state marijuana tax
A state ballot measure imposing special excise and sales taxes on recreational marijuana won handily in statewide voting Tuesday night. This story will be updated throughout the night.
8:02 p.m.: The Denver Post projects Proposition AA, the statewide sales and excise tax on recreational marijuana, will pass. With about 680,000 votes counted, the measure leads 65 percent to 35 percent. Its sizeable lead has remained virtually unchanged since the first results were released Tuesday night.
