ANOTHER TRY AT LEGALIZATION (LINK)
It failed in 2000 66% against to 33% for. In my opinion, it lost for two reasons.
1. The minor reason (I say minor, as I don't think this part of it had that much of an effect, but apparently enough that they are changing it this time):
Was because they tried legalizing up to 3 oz. This time they are going for only 1.
2. The major reason:
Last time there was another proposition on the ballot (that passed) and that was the defense of marriage act. It passed 66% to 33%.
The Mormon Church is very powerful (believe it or not) in Las Vegas and during the last election the Mormons voted enmasse in support of the defesne of marriage act. I believe those same Mormans voted against the legalization of MJ.
I am hoping this time they spend election day in the temple!
