In OH weed outran abortion, but by less than a point.

Abortion was +13.2%, 56.6% to 43.4%. Weed was +14.0, 57.0% to 43.0%.

Now, I think it is true that lots of folks voted for one and not the other. But in aggregate, weed did run ahead.

I don't see that happening here; and as you note, neither surpassed 60%

That was not the point. 60% or not. Weed outran abortion. I bet that happens again.

I would not have thought it would in OH, but it did.

I can see a decent case for weed running behind slightly in FL just because of a large senior Dem population that could have some No on 3 yes on 4 votes. Anecdotally my 60-year-old moderate Dem father is excited to vote yes on 3 hah.
