It's still unknown whether President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden will win the 2020 race for the US presidency. But according to Gizmodo, one clear winner has emerged in another fight: the drug legalization movement. In both red and blue cities and states, people voted to legalize or decriminalize cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, and, in Oregon, all illicit drugs entirely. New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana all passed ballot measures to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Voting to legalize cannabis and other drugs appeared to have nothing to do with whether a state voted for Trump or Biden--or its governor's party. and GOP governors of Arizona and South Dakota discouraged residents from voting to legalize cannabis. It didn't work.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem backed up on Sunday President Donald Trump's insistence the presidential election was stolen from him. Business Insider reports Noem said on ABC's 'This Week' that "illegal activities" may have aided President-elect Joe Biden at the ballot box. When faced with host George Stephanopolous's pushback, Noem was adamant that widespread fraud existed, despite having zero concrete evidence. The governor also insisted 'dead people voted in Pennsylvania,' repeating an internet rumour that has been debunked by The New York Times. But Stephanopoulos was equally unmoved, saying that the claims of voter fraud were unfounded. It starts with providing evidence. You still have not provided it.

CNN projects that voters in New Jersey and South Dakota have voted to legalize recreational marijuana. Poll results have not yet been determined in Arizona, Montana, and Mississippi for their legalization efforts. Pre-election polling showed that the measure had support in Arizona, Montana, and New Jersey. 33 states and Washington DC have already fully legalized medical marijuana. 11 states and Washington DC have also legalized recreational marijuana usage.
