Amos -

The only thing posted, and all that's likely to be put up, is at Wichita Eagle 11 APR 2005. The statements posted are relatively innocuous. Additional ravings were mostly in a footer to a half-page photo, and probably will not be on the web.

The "bragging" is that 70% of the voters were in favor of this amendment. The legislature "failed to forward" the bill in the last session, since there actually were some other questions on the ballot. Nearly 60% of those eligible did vote in that election. By defering to the current session, the amendment and two slots on the local school board were the only questions to vote on in my district. Statewide, the turnout was a little less than 30% of registered voters, so the 70% of 30% actually amounted to about 26% of registered voters. But it was enough. The extent that the issue was pushed in the few churches in favor of it would suggest that the 26% of those eligble to vote is pretty much the entire population of blind sheep in the state; but that's not helpful if the rest don't go out to vote.

(The 38% turnout in Sedgwick Co, quoted by the election commissioner, is incorrect based on prior published info on the number of registered voters in the county and published results of the election, but who's counting.)
