I am very happy about the results of this election

At least the ones I had my small say about in here in Oregon.

Merkley won.
Blumenauer won.
Kitzhaber won.
Weed won.

I had absolutely no control about anything else, so I'm not going to eat myself alive worrying about those things.

Oregon will be sending some decent people to D.C., our governor is not a total shithead, and I can start growing weed legally next summer. (Edited to include fredamae's correction below.)

1. Happy for you, Blecht.. I'm happy about Hawaii too.. except the mayor of Kauai.. the guy for

the environment lost.

I'm interested in what happens to Measure 92 in Oregon.

3. Still too close to call.

5. Mahalo, fredamae.. I'd been checking it all night and knew I'd have to wait until tomorrow but

thought I'd try anyway. Later tomorrow..

6. I hoped it prevails..... :)

8. Thank you.. me too! We're trying like hell to hold them accountable on Kauai.. uphill all the way!

2. I'm pretty sure

State House/Senate also picked up Dem Seats.

And to the Best of my understanding-M91 does not go into effect until July 2015 with sales commencing Legally in early 2016

Watch for public meeting notices regarding the rules making processes if you want to give input about How M91 "rolls out".

10. It is a bit muddled

On edit:

I went back and re-read the measure, and it looks like you're right.

Well, I'll just have to postpone my first harvest from St. Patrick's Day to Halloween.

11. Thank you! It is a bit confusing

Hopefully there won't be any more enforcement.....

4. Good news also on rejecting the top two primary.

It sucks here in CA.

[fredamae]

9. It would appear

it was a statewide defeat-even the GOP here rejected it roundly.
Oregonians don't want anyone messing with our elections process. Period. On that folks from all sides agree.
I actually listened to why CA voters are unhappy with it...So thank you!

7. I was actually supposed to wake up in Oregon this morning

A bad sore throat made me change my plans.

Congrats!!!

12. Good for you and good for us

but in all honesty, their political power is limited.

13. Way to go, Oregon!

14. CT went blue too.

As usual.
That's the only state I had any control in.
