All of the votes for the 2014 general election are in and, while there are no surprises, there’s one weird anomaly that’s kind of interesting: of all 143 voting precincts in D.C., only one voted against Initiative 71, the ballot initiative to legalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Overall, the ballot initiative passed with an overwhelming majority percent of the votes, but in voting precinct 9 in Ward 3, a small majority of voters voted against Initiative 71. Actually, it lost by just nine votes.

In total, 931 residents voted in that precinct, with 442 voting against Initiative 71 and 433 voting for it. It’s not a huge margin, but it’s an interesting anomaly, especially when you look at it visually:

So what happened there? “Well we didn’t campaign enough there clearly,” D.C. Cannabis Campaign chairman Adam Eidinger tells DCist. “I also think it has to do with it being an extremely high income area with people who follow the Washington Post editorial board’s advice,” he added.

Dr. Malik Burnett, co-chair of the D.C. Cannabis Campaign, notes that “there were more under votes cast in that precinct than the margin in which we lost.” He says it’s “plausible had those voters voted on the initiative the results in the precinct could have shifted in our favor,” and adds that of all the precincts in that Ward, precinct 9 was the only one that had lower voter turnout than previous midterm elections, which “may have contributed.”

Meanwhile, the city’s most pro-pot precinct, as Bloomberg notes, includes the White House.

The D.C. Council is planning to submit Initiative 71 to Congress in January, and it’s looking like Congress might not fight it. Still, no matter what happens, Eidinger is planning to exercise his Initiative 71 rights, as the will of the people voted. “No matter what, I will be growing three plants for myself this spring,” he says, “and if you’re nice, i’ll share it with you.”
