I wish I could say every precinct in Durham voted AGAINST the Amendment

but 6 of the 57 precincts here (25, 26, 28, 29, 31, and 32) voted FOR

Those 6 precincts contributed about 3K of the 22K FOR votes in Durham

And they set back our local AGAINST-FOR margin of 29K votes by less than 1K

I live in a red precinct in a bright blue town: my precinct voted twice for Bush and then voted for McCain -- but it voted against the Amendment
