DRUG WAR CHRONICLE: The anti-legalization group that challenged the narrow victory of Question 1 in last month’s elections has given up the ghost. No on 1 said Saturday it was apparent that the recount would not change the outcome.
“We promised folks that if we came to a point where we could not see any chance of reversing the result, we would not drag the process out,”said Newell Augur, legal counsel for the No on 1 campaign. “We are satisfied that the count and the result are accurate.” Now, the election result can be certified by the secretary of state, and legalization should go into effect sometime next month.
