That is because of this. In the case of WA state, it was passed by the voters on the coast, which is super liberal and has a lot of users. The coast has the population. It is the coast that elects our liberal Senators, Murray and Cantrell. It is the coast who elected Inslee, who is a lawyer who really can't lawyer. He tried and couldn't make it.

Plus, one has to consider the amount of money that was used to lobby the population. It was monumental. The opposition had nothing close.

And, this is a perfect example of majority rule, which is not alway right or democratic.

That still doesn’t explaine why blue state legislatures have rejected legalization. Even CA’s couldn’t get it passed, for crying out loud. As I said, politicians are way out of step with their constituents on this issue.

I assumed completing Law School and passing the Bar required intelligence and focus.

Jay Inslee proves otherwise.
