Voters around the US have cast ballots for a diverse range of initiatives that seek to reform laws on marijuana, the death penalty, climate change and more. Voters in Arkansas and Montana are also voting on medical marijuana measures. Proposition 66 would keep the death penalty intact while making the appeals process for inmates move faster. Question 776, known as the Allow Any Execution Method, protects the death penalty in the constitution, blocking it from being declared cruel or unusual punishment. Approved: Nebraska voters passed an unusual ballot measure to reinstate the death penalty after state lawmakers repealed it in 2015.
