According to the latest tally (3/12) from Let NH Vote, 21 towns passed their anti-marriage article by the 2/3rds vote that would be needed for a constitutional amendment.
Wiki tells me there are 221 towns and 13 cities in the Live Free or Die State.
So that means, pending final numbers, that 8.9% of our towns and cities had the requisite votes needed to pass a constitutional amendment to strip away the rights of some of our patriotic, tax-paying, fellow Granite Staters.
Considering that zero cities are among those communities that passed the article by 2/3rds, that 8.9% is excessively generous when you factor in actual population.
So my question is: was the Union Leader suckered by press releases from well-funded out-of-state groups when they rushed to judgment, or were they eager to set the narrative against tolerance themselves?
