1. Florida voted to severely curtail felony disenfranchisement, potentially putting a million people back on the rolls.

2. Louisiana voted to disallow non-unanimous jury convictions.

3. Colorado voted to end prison slavery - and let's just call that what it is, shall we?

4. Missouri and Arkansas voted for higher minimum wages.

5. Idaho, Nebraska, and Utah voted for Medicaid expansion.

6. Massachusetts voted to uphold transgender rights.

7. Michigan voted for automatic voter registration.

Any other good news?

Were you aware that WI Gov Walker was voted out of office? And that he lost to a teacher? And that he's legally prevented from getting a recount, because of his law to prevent such things? Sir, I do believe this is your petard. And bonus: "Evers' win also means his running mate, Mandela Barnes, will become Wisconsin's first black lieutenant governor."
