Cheating @FloridaGOP: The only way Ron DeSantis could defeat marijuana amendment was to move the goalposts

 

Headline:  New York Times

Amendment vote:  New York Times

Florida’s initiative failed, even though it was supported by a majority of voters. About 56 percent of voters supported the ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana, falling short of the 60 percent threshold required for a constitutional amendment. [emphasis added]

The vote in Florida followed an expensive and contentious campaign that divided Republicans: Gov. Ron DeSantis strongly opposed the measure, known as Amendment 3, while Donald J. Trump supported it. Across the country, 24 states currently permit recreational use of marijuana.

In 2022, DeSantis received just 59.6% of the vote, falling short of a 60% threshold.  Maybe he should resign.
