As
initial poll resultsstart to come in, Proposition 203 -- the Arizona Medical Marijuana Initiative -- is losing by a small margin. The mood at Alice Cooper'stown-- where supporters of Prop 203 have gathered to await election results -- is one of reserved excitement and hope.
As of this writing, 520 precincts had reported. "We're down by 20,000 votes, but the big counties haven't reported yet."
We'll keep you posted on Valley Fever and report the reactions on the Prop 203 vote -- be they jubilant party or tragic sadness -- once the final results are in.
