5/8/2012 7:44:49 PM

fuck this state

5/8/2012 7:44:51 PM

Yeah, results will take a while to fully come in.

5/8/2012 7:45:30 PM

maybe asheville and chapel hill will be the last to report and it'll be very close before then

5/8/2012 7:46:19 PM

wow, how can this state be so stupid.

strangely, i only ever saw people advocating AGAINST the amendment on facebook, etc. guess all the old fucks that don't have social media are the main ones voting FOR.

not looking good so far.

I live in Chapel Hill and I know last primary it did, will have to cross our fingers.

5/8/2012 7:47:42 PM

well Wake was against, at least...

5/8/2012 7:47:45 PM

Down to 17k difference now...but that's because they just added Orange.

5/8/2012 7:47:48 PM

Quite a few people were given ballots without the amendment on it... pretty significant. Was the ballot meant for 17 year olds.

5/8/2012 7:50:35 PM

How dumb do you have to be make the trip to vote for/against the amendment, and turn in a ballot with it missing.

5/8/2012 7:51:49 PM

Yeah, I know, right? I looked at the ballots online first so I knew 100% what was there. Sure there are some that are clueless whats suppose to be on them.

5/8/2012 7:55:32 PM

down 51k now. looks like it will probably pass. i can't wait until a bunch of idiots that voted FOR it realize they just screwed themselves.

5/8/2012 7:56:12 PM

Some people also care about more than just this issue. Perhaps...and I'm just throwing this out there...TWW isn't remotely representative of the population at large? Gasp!

5/8/2012 7:56:47 PM

So far all the 'against' counties are the ones where the majority of the population is college educated.

5/8/2012 7:57:03 PM

^ also higher literacy rates, lol.

5/8/2012 7:57:52 PM

Did anyone actually go into this expecting that it wouldn't pass? I voted against it, but let's be seriously you guys.

so you came into a thread called "Amendment 1" to inform us that people also care about other issues? good lookin out!

So what is "passing," >50%? or does it have to be a more significant margin?

My post was in response to this quote.

So, I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here.

Only 50% which is dumb imo. It should be like voting on federal amendments.

5/8/2012 8:10:29 PM

Where's everyone following this? I'm on the NC Board of Elections site and haven't seen Forsyth/Meck/others showing any reported data yet

5/8/2012 8:13:14 PM

^^^Through the link on this page. But...

I just realized I was looking at a fairly shaky map that didn't really add up.

Like Buncombe County (Asheville) obviously should have their stuff together...but the map I was looking at didn't have them...so I figured I'd wait til later.

5/8/2012 8:15:43 PM

I'm guessing Watauga County is where Boone is located?

5/8/2012 8:17:10 PM

^ Yes.

5/8/2012 8:17:29 PM

Looks like we just broke the 100k difference

5/8/2012 8:19:03 PM

Yes is up by 100k now
