Michigan voters passed legalization of marijuana for medical use in 2008 with 63% in favor, and 37% against. It ranged from a high or 71% & 69% in Wayne and Washtenaw, respectively, to a low and narrow 50.5% win in Ottawa. Image
Ten years later, voters passed the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act of 2018 intiaitive. Support ranged from highs of 68% (Washtenaw) and 65% (Ingham) "Yes", to lows of 60.1% (Ottawa) and 60.2% (Missaukee) "No." Image
Strange bedfellows. The souped-up emergency manager law passed in 2011 was repealed by voter in Nov 2012. Most support for the law came from the Detroit suburbs and West MI where Snyder was popular. The rest of the state rejected the law and the UP recoiled from it. Image
The GOP quickly replaced the law a few months later. Though one which allows municipalities/districts a number of options when a financial emergency is declared, most of which don't involve a full take-over, unlike the previous law.

Election Twitter, how can I make a custom color ramp in QGIS in which 0 is white and 100% is the darkest hue of the color? I'm trying to create an empty scale of like 5% increments, but have the color ramp up evenly but deeper into the color ramp.
