WEED
>California, Maine and Nevada will definitely have measures on their ballots that will ask voters whether they'd like to legalize recreational marijuana.
GUNS
>Maine and Nevada will both have initiatives on their November ballots that would require background checks. Maine's proposal would require background checks for all gun sales and transfers. Nevada's would require an unlicensed person who wants to sell or transfer a firearm to another unlicensed person to conduct the transfer through a licensed gun dealer who would run a background check.
>In California, an initiative that would impose tough restrictions on ammunition purchases has qualified for the state ballot. It would require background checks for ammunition purchases and ban people from possessing large capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds like those used in the 2012 massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary school and the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.
MINIMUM WAGE
>Maine is the only state so far that will definitely have an initiative on its November ballot that will ask voters whether the state should raise the minimum wage. Specifically, it would gradually increase it from $7.50 to $9 next year and increase it by a dollar each year until it reaches $12 in 2020.
>South Dakota, on the other hand, will have an initiative on its ballot that asks voters whether they want to decrease the state's minimum wage for non-tipped workers under age 18 from $8.55 to $7.50.
SINGLE PAYER
>Colorado state ballot will offer an amendment to the state constitution that would establish a single-payer health insurance system known as ColoradoCare. It's designed to provide healthcare coverage to the state's residents through a $25 billion increase in state taxes.

ELECTIONS
>Missouri will have a constitutional amendment on its ballot that asks voters whether they want the state government to require voter IDs during public elections.
DEATH PENALTY
>In California, voters will have the opportunity to vote on a measure that would repeal the state's death penalty for people found guilty of murder and replace it with life in prison without parole. Arizona also might have an initiative that would repeal its death penalty and replace the sentencing option with life in prison.
>An initiative that made the ballot in Oklahoma would assert that all methods of execution should be constitutionally allowed unless the Constitution bans it.
>A veto referendum in Nebraska, meanwhile, will ask voters whether they want to repeal or maintain a law that eliminated the death penalty in the state. The state legislature passed a bill banning the death penalty. Gov. Pete Ricketts, who advocates the death penalty, vetoed the bill, but his veto was overturned by a single vote, so the death penalty ban became law.

>A proposal that will almost certainly be on the ballot in California would require actors in pornographic films to use condoms during sexual intercourse. It would also require producers of adult films to pay for actors' testing, vaccinations and medical exams to test for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections.
>California voters will also decide whether they want to uphold the state's ban on plastic bags and whether they want to redirect fees on paper and reusable bags to environmental projects. California passed the first-in-the-nation plastic bag ban in 2014, but it never took effect because it was bound to appear as a ballot referendum this year.
Weed is on Massachusetts ballot too

>Dedicates tax revenue from fireworks to trauma care, fire services and public safety
This is a joke right?
https://ballotpedia.org/Kentucky_Voting_Rights_Restoration_Amendment_(2016)
The measure, upon voter approval, would restore voting rights for certain felons following "expiration of probation or final discharge from parole or maximum expiration of sentence." The amendment would also remove the ban on "idiots and insane persons" from voting.
>ban on "idiots and insane persons"
IT'S ACTUALLY IN THEIR STATE CONSTITUTION.
