Other races (ELECTION DAY 2013) besides NJ and VA govenor's race and Mayors of Boston & New York City

from ABC NEWS e-newsletter summation (www.abcnews.com ) Six states have a total of 31 ballot measures. In Washington State, voters will decide whether to require the labeling of foods made with "genetically modified organisms." New Jersey voters have a $1-per-hour minimum wage hike on the ballot, while New Yorkers will vote on whether to expand casino gambling. In Colorado, voters will weigh in on whether to impose two new taxes on recreational marijuana sales - a proposal that will be closely watched as other states consider legalization based on the premise that it will raise money for public services. DOWN BALLOT: In Alabama, the runoff for the Republican nomination in a House special election is an early test of the GOP establishment's efforts to stave off tea party challenges. Bradley Byrne, a former state senator and gubernatorial candidate, has the backing of the National Rifle Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the previous occupant of the House seat. He's running against Dean Young, a tea party favorite with strong socially conservative views. (The Republican will almost certainly win the December 2013 general election regardless of who wins the primary.)
