I-920. REPEAL THE ESTATE TAX?



I-933. MAKE THE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZE LAND OWNERS FOR LOSS OF LAND VALUE BECAUSE OF ZONING CHANGES?? (Basically, destroy WA's sprawl control)




I-937. Make companies have 15% of fuel come from renewable sources, or something. Basically some hippie enviro-initiative.

Jesus voted no on the environmental one and is just making excuses because he knows he's a Republican.

Nice maps, though.  Republican.

What were the statewide results for those?  The maps don't really help there.

I-933 (property rights) failed 59%-41%

I-937 (alternative energy) passed 52-48%

Minnesota only had one one statewide initiative, a rather boring one dealing with transportation funding. A map might be interesting though since it'd be more of a metro vs. outstate thing than anything ideological. Maybe I'll make one sometime.

I voted against it but it passed with over 60%.

Second map is interesting, what with Spokane against and the Portland Metro for. And are you sure the percentages on the first one are correct? It doesn't look like it failed by only slightly more than the second...

It's correct.  It just goes to show how much the Puget Sound dominates the state.  Hell, the Puget Sound wasn't even stronger against the second one.

The Spokane metro voted against land rights...but Lincoln County (the weird one with the flat bottom and torchflame top) isn't the Spokane Metro, and won't be anytime soon.  I have no idea what happened there.  The Spokane metro does not extend beyond Spokane County, in any real sense.

The Portland metro has a history of voting different on initiatives.  My guess would be the Portland media market.  It even voted for the partial-birth abortion act...that also failed in Lincoln County.  They constantly vote differently.

Why did Pacific county vote yes on I-933? It usually votes the way the Dems do.

I think that Pacific County is in the Portland media market.
