Early unofficial election results bode well for supporters of Proposition 2, with the medical cannabis initiative capturing about 64 percent of the votes tallied so far.
The initial tally posted just after 8 p.m. is far from complete, and more ballots remained to counted Tuesday night and in the days to come.
To some, the vote seemed largely symbolic, since top lawmakers are busy constructing a different model for delivering medical cannabis to Utah patients. State legislators are expected to overwrite Prop 2 if it succeeds at the ballot box and approve their own cannabis act if it fails.
