Marijuana legalization poll

[Fluff and Stuff]

Is the LP an offical party in NH?  Anyway, wouldn't it be easier to get elected with a R + D ticket?  And also, with straight ticket voting taken away, fusion is a lot weaker.

Is the LP an offical party in NH?

No. Every time they get close, the current ruling party raises the requirement 

Anyway, wouldn't it be easier to get elected with a R + D ticket?

Yes, but you have to win the primary in both parties, and unless you've lived here 20 years and are known and generally liked by everybody in town, that ain't gonna happen.

And also, with straight ticket voting taken away, fusion is a lot weaker.

Lots of people are saying that and I don't buy it. You can bet your ass that people who don't know who to vote for  on a personal level, are still going to look for the "R" or "D" next to the name, depending on which brand they like.

didn't fusion get tossed this year?

Nope. The bill to eliminate fusion was killed by parliamentary means after the media had all announced it was a done deal
