Amendments
Amendment No. 1 The vote was Yes (47,682)(54.42%)
Must Section 33, Article III of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to delete the provision that no unmarried woman shall legally consent to sexual intercourse who shall not have attained the age of fourteen years?
Explanation:This amendment deletes the section of the Constitution which says an unmarried woman must be fourteen years old or older in order to consent to sexual intercourse. Deleting this section would allow the state legislature to set the age of consent. Currently, the state legislature has the age of consent set at sixteen for most cases.
A “yes” vote would delete the section from the Constitution and let the state legislature set the age of consent.
Amendment No. 2 The vote was No (48,282)(56.63%)
Must Section 16, Article X of the Constitution of this State relating to benefits and funding of public employee pension plans in this State and the investments allowed for funds of the various state-operated retirement systems be amended so as to provide that the funds of any trust fund established by law for the funding of post-employment benefits for state employees and public school teachers may be invested and reinvested in equity securities subject to the same limitations on such investments applicable for the funds of the various state-operated retirement systems?
Explanation: “Post-employment benefits” are benefits, mainly health insurance, provided to eligible state government and school district retirees. To comply with a change in accounting standards, the state has created trust funds to pay for these post-employment benefits. This amendment relates to how the money in these trust funds may be invested.
A “no” vote would mean that state government is not allowed to invest these funds in any kind of equity securities (stocks).
Amendment No. 3 The vote was No (45,067)(53.67%)
Must Section 16, Article X of the Constitution of this State relating to benefits and funding of public employee pension plans in this State and the investments allowed for funds of the various state-operated retirement systems be amended so as to provide that the funds of any political subdivision of this State that have been set aside for the funding of post-employment benefits for the political subdivision’s employees, including those invested in independent trusts established for that purpose, may be invested or reinvested in equity securities of the type permitted for investment by the various state operated retirement systems, as provided for by the General Assembly?
Explanation: This amendment is the same as Amendment 2 except it applies to local governments’ post-employment benefits (instead of the state government’s post-employment benefits)

The 2010 midterm elections will be here, and most expect Republicans to make big gains in each chambers of Congress. While prevailing opinion holds that this GOP will take covering the House of Representatives, there are many dissenters among national political figures. The Senate outlook is much more messy, but it is mostly accepted that Republicans face a steeper climb to look at back the upper chamber.

Interesting to see some of the landslides, where the winner got almost every single vote! Like these:
York Co Sheriff Bruce M Bryant REP (71,451)(99.41%)
Clerk of Court David Hamilton REP (70,202)(99.66%)
Interesting to see some of the winners who got over 99% of the vote. Hate to be the one that ran against them and nobody voted for me.
