Spark the Vote Launches Campaign to Mobilize Untapped Cannabis Voters

Date:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Spark the Vote will hold a press event on September 16 to announce the launch of a national campaign to mobilize cannabis voters in advance of the November 3 General Election.

Cannabis voters are an incredibly diverse and growing voting bloc that have already made real impacts in state and local elections. In 2016 President Donald Trump won Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio by less than a million votes. Estimates by NewFrontier Data show that cannabis voters could have made a significant impact in these states with 2.5M cannabis consumers in Florida, 1.4M in Michigan, 1.4M in Pennsylvania and 1.3M in Ohio. In an era where presidential elections are regularly decided by less than a million votes, cannabis consumers have a huge role to play in local, state, and federal elections.
