(9,236 posts)it was put on the ballot during the NC Republican primary and though it was available to Democrats on the ballot, not many- if any- came out to vote on it.
So it was a party line vote and not representative of the whole state.

But if you put this in its proper context--about the majority being able to strip basic human rights from those they do not like--then you will see exactly what you see in this video clip.
