The 'No' campaign was largely nonexistent. The 'Yes' campaign was enough reason to vote 'No'. And the 'No' voters are just as educated as 'Yes' voters. It's just that some people can't understand why other people would disagree with them.
Didn't get a single flyer from the yes campaign, the no campaign, however. Just depends on where you live
Some are educated, some are racist - no reason they can't be both.
It's easy to understand ignorance and racism.
