Election Time in Fargo
ND NEWS
I just got back from voting in the special election here in Fargo on the proposed Renaissance Center in downtown that I posted on here. The only measure on the ballot is the proposed 1/2 cent sales tax extension to fund the Center so I would safely say that voter turnout is going to be very low today. At the polling station in my neighborhood this morning I only saw 1 other voter in the time that I was there.
A poll out by the Forum suggests that although 60% of Fargoans opposed the tax extension, those most likely to vote are in favor of the extension. A 60% majority is needed to pass the proposal. My guess is that it will fall to defeat but get around 50% of the support from today’s voters.
Polls close at 7 PM Central and I will be updating this post as soon as the results are in tonight.

UPDATE:
As I predicted earlier in the day, the proposed 1/2 cent sales tax extension to fund a Renaissance Center in downtown Fargo fell to defeat–
