As can be seen here, support for the amendment increases the farther away one gets from an urban area.

In fact, other blogs have reported on pockets of outright opposition to Prop 2 in certain Hispanic areas. Here in Austin, African-American and Hispanic precincts went against Prop 2, counter to what many thought would happen. I'm working on a Travis map as well, but until then...
