[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The count is now complete and the initiative passed. One interesting thing is the geographic distribution of votes. The strongest support for the initiative was in the less well off parts of town inhabited by African Americans. The strongest opposition came from the wealthiest and whitest parts of town. Rock Creek Park is essentially the dividing line with everything west opposed and everything east in favor.

That's interesting.  Brandon Todd has said he planned on voting no.[/quote]

Most of the Council was against the initiative. The Mayor is also opposed it and Todd is her lapdog so I would expect him to be against it. [b]Many Council members are out of sync with their constituents on this issue. Cheh supported the initiative while her constituents are the strongest opponents. Several EOTP CMs opposed it while their constituents largely supported it.[/b]

Respectfully, Jeff, how in the world do you know this?  I never saw any polling on the initiative and I've been following it pretty closely.  And while it did pass tonight, turnout was extremely low and the "yes" vote barely constituted 10 percent of DC's registered voters.   [/quote]
