       | (when marijuana legalization was on the ballot in 2016, the then-
       | chief of the state police did a similar ad spot whose pitch
       | boiled down to "vote yes so we can stop wasting our time on
       | stupid college students, willya?", which I think had a similarly
       | large impact. )
