Just wondering.

Even though Minnesota has not had such a vote (thankfully!) I am pretty sure Mankato would vote against it if it happened. The vote against would probably be higher than Kerry's percentage.

It's worth noting that, before 2004, the only place where that ever happened was Beverly Hills.  Not even Hollywood, Los Angeles, anything like that.  I doubt Mankato, Minnesota, would be breaking the same ground.

But since 2006 presented us with Arizona and South Dakota's weird results, who knows?  It depends on the type of ban.

I am reasonably sure that Tacoma would vote against a ban, although the least restrictive sort of ban might be close.

Those places have lots of minorities. Look at the CO and VA maps this year. There were pelnty of such places.

I'd estimate Mankato would vote about 57% against the ban.

I'll admit Minneapolis would vote against it, but with a smaller margin than Kerry's. Although it'd get crushed in just about all the white areas.

What do minorities have to do with it?

Because they tend to be socially conservative even if they vote Democratic. Duh. Look at don's precinct map.
