I bet this poll had a lot to do with the decision to call democratic race for Hillary. They're scared. #VoteBernie pic.twitter.com/lSFP7ZG1T8

No, not the presidential election. That’s a libertarian nightmare no matter how you slice it.
But on that same day, California is apparently going to legalize marijuana. Here’s the LA Times’ coverage of the ballot measure when it got the required number of signatures back in May:
California voters getting chance to fully legalize marijuana
Kevin Drum has a rather strange post up about California and Proposition 187. He argues as follows:
Here’s what California has looked like in presidential elections over the past 35 years:
Unless I made a mistake somewhere, Prop 187 had precisely zero effect. As the non-white population of California rose, the Democratic share of the presidential vote rose in almost perfect tandem. After 1994, it continued growing at the same rate as ever.
A new poll shows that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders leads Hillary Clinton by one point, just days ahead of the California state primary elections. According to a survey by the Los Angeles Times and the University of Southern California, 44 percent of voters said they would vote for Sanders whilst just 43 percent said they would back Clinton.
With the latest polls showing Bernie Sanders narrowing the gap on Hillary Clinton’s lead to just two points, a former adviser to Bill Clinton predicts a win for the Vermont senator in the California primary next week could end the race for Hillary. He also predicts that Vice President Joe Biden could throw his hat in the ring by entering the presidential race and challenging Sanders to the White House.
