Early results show trouble for ballot issues - KOTA Territory News
Member Center:
Monday, we posted a story on MyTown (Vote for yourself on election day) suggesting voters forget about the polls because they are all over the place.
Well, take a look at the flip flop on Initiated Measure 15, a one-cent sales tax hike for education and healthcare.
A Nielson Brothers poll last year said 56 percent of voters were against it. This year, the same NB poll showed only 32 percent against the tax.
Tonight, at just after 8 p.m., 58 percent of the votes tallied are "no." So go figure polls.
It also looks as if voters are in no mood to spend money on a large development fund, despite Governor Dennis Daugaard's personal push for Referred Law 14.
And in what could be another rebuke of a governor plan, voters are overwhelmingly voting against Referred Law 16, giving teacher bonuses and revamping educator performance reports.
