I'm very surprised. I guess when living in a heavily conservative area, it can persuade you to think the entire state would go their way. Apparently not and damn I'm happy to see this.
Me too! A few weeks ago, I was confident this would be shut down. But then today I was hearing the vast majority of my co-workers saying they were voting yes. Its very easy to put yourself in a bubble and believe you know which way the herd is heading. I'm happy sanity pulled through on this one.
It's projected the No's will prevail. But I think I'm still going to have some caution until I wake up tomorrow morning. I'm happy the guys with the pointless signs that said "Vote YES, Protect the 2nd Ammendment" are looking to fail miserably in their endeavor.
So, uh, I like the second amendment, but issue 1 is completely unrelated....
Of course the logic used for vote no campaigns was equally stupid, so I guess this one had dumb messaging all around.
The real intent and purpose of issue 1 was obvious from the very beginning, and I can only assume most people understood what it was really about.
