Where is plain old General Discussion?...

Just wanted to share something:

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Fifty years after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered an end to segregated schools, Alabamians were divided Tuesday over a constitutional amendment to erase unenforceable requirements for segregated schools and poll taxes.

With 98 percent of the precincts reporting in the unofficial tally, Amendment Two was opposed by 679,551 voters, or 50 percent, and supported by 675,791 votes, or 50 percent. It will take a count of the last precincts on Wednesday to determine the outcome.

Amendment Two was opposed by former Chief Justice Roy Moore, Alabama Christian Coalition President John Giles and anti-tax groups claiming a little-noticed part of the measure could be used by a federal court to order a huge tax increase for public education.

And people wonder from where the stereotypes emerge?
