Is there a difference?

How is it that a state who can elect Jerry Brown, not vote for Prop 19, marijuana legalization?

In fact, how is it that a state who votes for jerry Brown vote for a dead candidate..........

Republican hopes of capturing the 28th Senate District following Democratic Sen. Jenny Oropeza’s death were quashed Tuesday as the late South Bay senator’s name cruised to victory.

With absentee ballots counted and 510 of 535 precincts reporting, Oropeza, who died Oct. 20, held an insurmountable lead with 57.8 percent of the vote. Republican John Stammreich was second with 36.3 percent, and Libertarian David Ruskin was a distant third, with 5.9 percent.

Nevermind, I don't think there's a difference between the two.
