Interesting trend in Twin Cities: many pro-voting amendment billboards but few signs in favor of it

.

saw plenty out that way 4 months ago
that is sad

Vote No signs proliferate neighborhoods throughout (from what I'm told), and my own experience in the south neighborhoods.

The problem is rural, where Vote Yes signs are the norm.

The Vote Yes folks spent money on billboards in the cities hoping to pick up any votes they can. From what I hear from people that have driven out of the cities, its creepy the number of Vote Yes signs.

Is there enough urban support against it to override the rural and suburban votes for it, or will the amendment win?

Minnesota Constitutional amendments have to have 50% to be approved. Vote No on the marriage amendment has consistently lost, but just today a poll was released that showed it losing 47% to 46%, significant because the votes in favor dipped below 50%.

Vote No on Voter ID is behind- last month those voting yes were 63%, two days ago voting yes was 53%. There has been quite a bit of education about this one that is finally sinking in, I think. The amendment sounds reasonable, simply requiring people to prove who they are. But as people realize the constraints it puts on people, and the cost to the state to issue voter ID's, they change their minds.

And some say with same-day registration here, many are not included in the polls (18-29 year olds, etc.), so there's more hope.

Anoka, Cambridge, Isanti and pleasantly surprised at the Vote NO on amendment signs on private property.

Now it would have been even better to have seen such a sign against the marriage amendment in that yard also!

Which is a very weird place for it, since there are vote no signs everywhere in this neighborhood.

This morning as I passed by on the bus, I noticed it had been vandalized by pink paint blotches.

A few weeks ago I saw a picture of Ernie Leidiger, Bradlee Dean's friend, at a church handing out Vote Yes (Marriage = Man & Woman) yard signs. Actually, maybe it's in another thread here... anyway, in the last 2 weeks, driving in a few suburbs, I've seen more Vote Yes signs pop up. I think it's the churches giving them out or influencing. I see more churches with them too. (Although I've seen a couple with Vote No, which was refreshing.) Hate it.

The Vote No/Yes Photo ID signs are less. But I've seen more of the Vote Yes (ID) pop up lately too (not Mpls though).

Just hate MNGOP for doing this.

when I see an occasional Vote Yes sign I assume they are Catholic.

It had been vandalized.
