Kill the convention and stop rewarding bigotry in this country.

only 34.33% of the registered electorate voted; 61.05%, of those actually voting in the primary, voted for Amendment One; and 20.98% = 61.05% of 34.33%

Put another way, 79% of registered NC voters (4 992 807 of them) did not vote for Amendment One -- and in fact 66% of registered NC voters (4 132 685 of them) did not vote at all

Here's how the counties, containing major urban areas, voted:

105900 for, 139020 against

Guilford (pop Greensboro 270K, pop High Point 104K) 338,263 registered voters, 35% turnout
58520 for, 58448 against

18748 for, 11717 against

Buncombe (pop Asheville 83K) 179,516 registered voters, 39% turnout

There's a reason the Republicans put this on the primary ballot: they expected the turnout this May to be skewed in favor of older voters and more Republican voters, compared to the turnout in November

If we wanted to really move it we would have protested months ago.
