(115,674 posts)if a voter doesn't vote on the amendment at all it counts as a No vote. I don't know what percentage of voters ignore the constitutional amendments on a ballot - maybe it's not a big percentage - but it puts a heavier burden on those supporting the amendment.
I'm very glad to hear this. In my neighborhood in the south side of the People's Republic of Minneapolis, just about every other yard (including mine) has a Vote No sign. I know opposition to the amendment is very strong in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

(417 posts)I'm cautious, but I have the feeling we're going to win this one. I got another call from MN United for All Families earlier this week. They were looking for volunteers for election day. I told them that I was unable. As much as I would love to help out more, but I'm really busy and I've already spent time making calls, to be honest, I didn't feel like I was that great at it. I was constantly on the verge of crying or shouting, so I offered them a monetary donation instead. They really need volunteers though, so if you have election day off, please give them a call.
btw their office is right off University Avenue in St. Paul and their number is 651-330-6852.
