As a North Carolinian who voted (and found the other thread locked) I guess I can throw my view in here. Two things. Number one - when I went to vote, there were people handing out "Vote for this person" things right near the door. Normal behavior. However, I was approached by a seven year old kid handing out things saying "Vote for the amendment". Now, I don't care what your viewpoint is. But you shouldn't use a seven year old who doesn't even have a clue about what is going on as a little pawn in your voting scheme. Another thing I found a tad unfair is this voting was attached to the Republican primary for President. That is going to draw out a lot more voters than normal on a side that is more than likely going to vote for the Amendment. I found that a touch unfair. Personally, I think it would have been more fair to have the national Presidential primary vote on a different day and have this amendment and the local elections on this day.
