Пересчитывать будем?!

antonborisovНа, так называемых, промежуточных выборах, в бюллетени для голосования были внесены, также, вопросы, которые выносились на референдум.
О легализации марихуаны я уже писал.
Однако, в бюллетенях, был также и референдум о том, стоит ли на продаваемых продуктах питания, на этикетках давать информацию о том, является ли этот продукт, или какие-либо составные части продукта, генно-модифицированным, или не давать такой информации?
После подсчета оказалось, что победили те, кто убежден, что обязывать производителя информировать потребителя о генно-модифицированности продукта лучше не нужно.
Но, голосующих “за” и “против” было почти одинаковое количество. 48.98% и 51.02%.
Сейчас все идет к тому, что голоса будут пересчитывать… 13 000 бюллетеней оказались “проблемными” из-за подписей.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the “Yes on 92″ campaign. Staff and volunteers packed up, then upacked again as the vote gap narrowed in the weeks since the elction.
“I feel great right now to have come to this point, to be so close after a really long and hard-fought contest,” said Yes on 92 campaign director Paige Richardso
Part of the reason the vote narrowed is the 13,000 ballots that had signature issues. The state contacted those voters to confirm their signature before their vote could be counted.
That list of voter names was made public – the first time that ever happened.
“We then looked for our supporters on that list and encouraged them to correct their error,” Richardson said.
Political analyst Jim Moore said Multnomah County “had a bunch of ballots it hadn’t been able to process election night,” and when they did, the vote narrowed.
New results showed the ballot measure’s margin of defeat at .1% – a margin that would trigger an automatic recount.
A total of 1079 ballots separates the Yes from the No, as of 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2014. But the final results won’t be known until Monday, when counties are required to submit their final election tallies to the state for certification.
If a recount happens, it would happen in the first week of December.
Moore doesn’t think the Yes on 92 campaign has a real shot of winning
“I don’t think it does,” he said in the early afternoon Friday. “At this point there are 1500 votes between the two sides, and when you look at the number of votes that are out, the counties they come from and the amounts the measure won or lost in those counties, it’s hard to see how there would be (a) 1500 votes (swing) out of just 7,000 left.”
Recounts, he said, typically don’t change the outcome of an election.
On Friday, the “No on 92″ campaign issued this statement: “We are confident that Measure 92 has been defeated.”
Лично я голосовал за то, что потребитель должен знать, чем он питается.
