Florida Blocked the 2026 Weed Vote

Feature graphic titled “Florida Blocked the 2026 Weed Vote,” filed under Ballot Box Blockade. The image depicts a locked ballot box labeled “2026 Ballot Initiatives” wrapped in heavy chains and secured with a padlock, surrounded by shredded petitions stamped “Rejected,” “Disqualified,” and “Blocked.” A courthouse dome stands in the background beneath the Florida state flag, alongside a gavel and a map of Florida marked with red pins and connecting lines.
