Flatland Posted June 13, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csonked Out Posted June 13, 2012 Share 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!

UND92,96 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Rob Port is already thinking of conspiracy theories like how the voters were confused about the yes or no meaning At least he can correctly claim that the Forum poll really was way off, after all.

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.

fightingsioux4life Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yes, WE know that, but that's not what the "nickname at all costers" were saying. By the way, where are they? Trying to come up with more conspiracy theories on how "the folks in North Dakota" were "fooled" and "scared" into voting Yes and how "it ain't over yet". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
