Florida voters reject recreational marijuana legalization as other states approve key measures

Voters in Florida rejected a measure to legalize recreational marijuana, failing to meet the 60% threshold needed for constitutional amendments. The campaign was largely funded by Trulieve, Florida's largest medical marijuana operator, and faced opposition from state Republicans. In contrast, Nebraska approved measures to legalize medical marijuana and regulate the industry. Additionally, voters in several states passed amendments to ensure only citizens can vote, while Arizona enacted a law making it a crime to enter the state illegally. California voters supported tougher crime laws, reinstating felony charges for repeat shoplifters and increasing penalties for certain drug offenses. Meanwhile, Washington state upheld a climate law aimed at reducing carbon emissions, and school choice measures were defeated in Kentucky and Nebraska.
