Bet you didn't know that non-whites were more likely to oppose the amendment (35 percent) than whites (18 percent). Or that Republicans showed more willingness to vote for changes to the rules (41 percent) than Democrats (27 percent) or independents (26 percent).

Hey, that's what happens with news stories. The totals get big headlines, and the details, well ... they get relegated to detail-oriented blogs like this one.
