Election Remainders
In case you missed it... in addition to the generally depressing election results Tuesday there were a few more interesting electoral decisions:
California decided against legalizing marijuana, 54%-46%.
Oklahoma passed a constitutional amendment that will outlaw Islamic Sharia law from taking over the state's judicial system. Because you have to combat the pending Muslim revolution in the Sooner State, right?
6 candidates across the country remained on the ballot even after having passed away. 4 of them won.
95 candidates had signed a pledge to support Net Neutrality. All 95 were defeated.
32% of Tea Party candidates across the country won.
The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund endorsed a record 164 openly gay candidates for Tuesday's election. A record 106 won.
Meanwhile, 3 Iowa Supreme Court justices were defeated in retention elections. Their crime? All 3 had determined that denial of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The conservative Blue Dog Democrat coalition was cut in half after Tuesday.
