darell1976 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 Grand Forks County...Complete!! Yes 5,426 or 70.45% No 2,276 or 29.55 % Quote
Flatland Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I believe that local newspapers probably had a large influence. In my case, the McKenzie County Farmer's Editor was on board with a "yes" vote and Omdahl also had a article printed. Both of these explained the measures rationally and probably help push the result toward yes. Quote
darell1976 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 163/426 Yes 65.45 No 34.55 Cass County 9/36 72.52% Yes (my vote is one of them!!) 27.48% No Quote

Contrary to what some on the coasts may think, NoDaks generally show a great degree of common sense when they go to the polls and don't get wrapped up in the hysterics or "smoke and mirrors" arguments.

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I think a lot of us were confident that the YES vote would take measure 4. But, did anyone imagine the numbers being like this? Congrats to all who got the word out there and told the facts about the issue. 1 Quote

gfhockey Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Rob Port is already thinking of conspiracy theories like how the voters were confused about the yes or no meaning Quote

Csonked Out Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Well I am happy about the results of many of the elections that fact that 60% of the ballots are in and only 12% of the states eligible voters did is more than a bit concerning to me! Quote

Really guys... You know as well as anyone that the vote is not a vote on whether or not people support the name. And that it is a vote to save the university athletics. Quote

Yes, WE know that, but that's not what the "nickname at all costers" were saying. By the way, where are they? Quote
