There is nothing to do in Mohave but smoke weed. That’s why. The Republican voters there are not pearl-clutching white picket fence doctors like in Maricopa, to say the least.
More seriously, it’s an interesting question. We know support for weed is tied largely to age. The measure overwhelmingly passed in Kingman, which is what delivered the strong county margin. There’s some libertarian spillover, IMO, from its proximity to Vegas. Kingman also has a meth problem, so weed isn’t seen as a boogeyman. Kingman is akin to a small city in KY/OH with a kinda blue collar vibe where folks are conservative but seek relief through ganja.
Kingman is also relatively young, population-wise, for a blood red AZ city. Only 15 percent ish is over 65.
Other counties like Coconino have a lot of Natives, Yavapai is where people go to die from old age, etc…
