Didn't see it and saw some important (for MT) results in:

  63-37% defeated a proposition that would have banned trapping on public lands.  I did some help in opposing that bill.   Glad to see there's still some Montanans with common sense.

  56-44% passed a bill expanding the medical marijuana use in MT.    A lot of people opposed it, but many conservatives/libertarians supported it.

  Our poopyhead of a governer Bullock(D) was retained for 4 more years at 50% of the vote.

  Our female, Indian, Lesbian "independent" candidate lost against our Republican rep (who is a craphead but better than her).

   Kept a GOOD state AG who is very pro-gun and got a good solid guy in as secretary or state so hopefully he can go on for governer in 4 years.

     Just was interesting as the local elections, EVERY.....from county to state, to governer, ALLLLLLL democrats used the word "Independent" I don't think I hardly saw an ad with the word Democrat in the ad.

 

Question 790 would have allowed the state to use public or money to support a religion or religious institution was defeated at 57% against. That the baptist even got this up to be voted on is scary as hell. 

Question 792 allows beer/wines over 3.2% alcohol to be sold in grocery stores/convenience stores and allow liquor stores to sell things besides liquor plus use refrigeration to store wines/beer. It passed at 66% for the law. So we can finally be a normal state.

Question 780 reclassified drug possession as a misdemeanor instead of felony. It passed at 58%. This is actually a massive change for Oklahoma as we love to lock people up for multiple years for having one joint on them. 

The sheriff for Oklahoma County remained Mr. Whetsel. Which is like saying a brick holds office. You know it is gonna be where you left it, but it sure as hell isn't going to do anything. The fellow running against him was just a rock. So not a large difference in rather a rock or brick sits in the chair. 

We also had a bunch of state house offices come up. It got mostly won by Repubs on slim margins. It is all horribly uninteresting. The difference in OK democrats and republicans is minor at best. They are both for sure going to fellate Jebus, but the democrat might do it with ever so slightly less gusto. 

Most of the action in Kansas occurred months ago in the GOP primary.   A lot of the republican incumbents lost and were replaced by "moderates".  The democrats did pick up a few seats,  mostly in the Northeast corner of the state (KC, Johnson County, Topeka, etc.)  The GOP still holds a massive majority,  but it's somewhat squishier now.  Basically the economy is s___ and has been since 2010.  The state is constantly running short on money and tax revenues are down.  Of course these budget shortfalls are blamed on the business tax cuts that governor Brownback pushed for a a few years ago.    To be fair, that may be a factor.  However,  I think we'd still be in trouble even without those tax cuts.  The state economy has been sputtering along for years now, and that's not due to these tax cuts. 

We've had a constant fight between the state supreme court and the legislature and governor over the issue of school funding for the past several years.   The court wants the state to magically cough up more money and the media is constantly harping on about how it's all "for the children".   In reality,  funding is adequate and if you look at the actual per student funding numbers,  they have way more than what they need.   Unfortunately, the media has sold everyone on the idea of how our schools have absolutely no funding and everything is a disaster.  There was a serious effort to recall a few of the justices, due to their constant meddling with the state budget and their overturning of some death penalty sentences in high profile cases, most notably the Carr brothers.  Unfortunately,  it fell short.  It is very difficult to get a judge removed from the bench once they are in there.  Seems like everyone always just checks "Yes" by default.

The only other local issue was a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to hunt, fish, and trap.   Not really an issue here,  but it was put there pre-emptively to guard against PETA nutjobs coming in and causing trouble.   It was heavily supported by the KSRA and easily passed with 82% approval. 

And don't forget we still haven't finished counting the early and mail in ballots yet. Last I heard they still had about 400k of the 650k they started with!
