Twins stadium vote

Posted at 9:55 PM on April 26, 2006 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

Courtesy of Votetracker, here's the roll call of the vote for a Twins stadium bil in the House today. Do me a favor, though, and sort it by districtWhy? Well, the lower numbers are rural Minnesota and as you get into the high numbers, you're in the metro. Notice anything?

The people who've put Votetracker together have talked in the past about taking the database that drives it and integrating it with the program we use on election night to draw the red and blue districts so you can see -- better than this -- how some votes shake out based on geography. I think this is one of them.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that idea has gone to the place where good ideas go to die, but it's still something I think would be cool.

It would be really nice if you'd also post the votes on the referendum amendment.
