American voters are electing more than a new president and vice president on Tuesday. Voters will also be filling all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives. In addition, they are deciding 34 U.S. Senate races, 12 state governorships and hundreds of local issues. The issues include legalization of the drug marijuana, gun control, health care and even the minimum wage. The website Ballotpedia.com reports there are a total of 154 statewide measures on ballots in 35 states, affecting over 200 million people. The site reports that 82 million people live in states where voters could legalize marijuana. Reports say more than 21 million live in states where voters could increase the minimum wage -- the lowest wages permitted under the law. Ballot measures to increase restrictions on gun ownership could affect more than 50 million people.
