Voters in Nevada, a battleground state in the presidential race, rejected Question 3, according to Ballotpedia.

Commentary: This Election Is About Those Who Lecture Versus Those Tired of Being Lectured

The Daily Signal
People Arguing

The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Harris versus conservative Republican Trump.

Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured.
