Saw in the news that Amendment E, the JAIL For Judges Amendment proposed in South Dakota was voted down by the voters in that state by a wide margin.
I didn't not anticipate that the Amendment E supporters would take failure well, and they're not. They've already screaming about voter fraud. And while any allocations of voter fraud need to be investigated for Democracy to retain its legitimacy, I don't believe it was voter fraud that killed the Amendment E initiative in South Dakota. 90% of voters voted No. Instead of fraud, I think it's got more to do with the fact that every professional group and politician and majority of bloggers stood up and said "That's an awful law!". When you get enough people saying that, the voters take notice.
This also means that Ron Branson and his merry crew of miscreants will now be on the hunt for another State in which to promote their ideas.
I'll let you know as I know.
Also notable in South Dakota was the size of the "No" vote on South Dakota's amendment that would ban all abortions outright. Way to go folks!
