How many students voted, and how much did it cost to have polling places on campus for them this time around?
Yikes, what am I Stephanie? (Blogger joke).
Well, the on-campus students are in the four 'A' precincts, so we had a total of 8 votes cast; and if costs were the same as last month, it works out to $432 per vote.
Leaving 5,025 voters at an average cost of $2.11 per vote.
The precinct stats are interesting. If you add the difference of "no" votes in excess of "yes" votes for precincts 2, 7 and 8, which are geographically the furthest from the center, the combined excess is 276 "no"votes, more than enough to swing the referendum. Combining all the other precincts, accumulated "yes" and "no" votes are basically equal.
Yeah, on election night they post the results for a few minutes outside the polling place. So I only had time to check Precincts 7 and 8 (fairly close to each other is S. Amherst) and when I saw those results, thought we were on our way to a blowout.
