Prop 19: As we are only hours after polls closed in California, Proposition 19 appears to be a ton of attention in California and the rest of the nation and even worldwide. Prop 19 would legalize marijuana, and give the state another source of income through tax revenues. This is of course, if the federal government would allow the state to legalize drugs. Twitter, in particular, is lighting with people for and against the proposal. Every second of many tweets arrive with opinions on the vote. Here are just a handful of tweets lately, most of which appear to be in favor of Prop 19.

It is clear that a majority of Twitter users are in support of the proposal, however, Twitter is demographically skewed towards young adults and even teens who are not of voting age yet. If Twitter is an indicator of the Prop. 19 would be fair, it certainly does happen, however, it probably will not.
