________________________________
Spinning the Results
It is very noteworthy that groups like New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition
and Granite State Progress are focusing on who did NOT vote on the Article.
They emphasize the number of towns and cities where petitions were NOT filed.
They tried desperately to keep people from voting on the article by amending
or tabling it.  They successfully amended it in 16 towns and tabled it in 33 others.
Now they want to claim that these towns defeated the article, even though the
citizens in these towns never voted on the article's resolution.
They deliberately ignore the fact that the Article passed by an overwhelming majority
of the citizens who actually voted on it.  59 Passed (64%),  33 Failed (36%)
