The opportunity was there. With 63.8% turnout, the voter voices were heard. What did they say? I listen and hear of 1790 and 1069 people who passed up on their votes for these two questions. This on a day where only 70 passed on the vote for Governor. Why did so many pass on these questions? I think the answer runs the gamut; not sure, confusion, no interest, etc.
