One of the last people to cast their ballots here at City Hall was 36-year-old Justin Huebner, who came decked out in his cannabis-themed gear. He said marijuana felonies have kept him from voting, and this was his first time. Marijuana law reform guided his picks, he said. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DrXbM8YW4AQ8FL9.jpg
