Roseville Voters Gave More Support to Marriage Amendment than Voter ID
That was unusual among Patch cities in Minnesota.
Roseville voters marked "Yes" on the marriage-amendment ballot question more than for the voter ID amendment, although neither had majority support in the city.
Still, that was an unusual combination among the results on Election Day (Nov. 6, 2012) election results for Patch cities in Minnesota.
Unofficial results as of Friday showed that the amendment to define marriage in the Minnesota Constitution as being between one man and one woman had 40.58 percent support in Roseville. Support for the Voter ID amendment in Roseville was 39.235 percent.
