Is that the 60% that is needed? No, it is not! hmmmm

Could be WMUR got the numbers and just did not know about the 60% requirement?

Also, there were two SB-2 warrants, question #1 for the school district, and #7 for the town.

According to the Concord Monitor SB-2 did not fare well in Meredith or across the State yesterday.

From the Monitor....

"...Ten local communities contemplated ditching their traditional annual meetings in favor of SB2, where voters meet to debate the warrant articles but wait until election day to vote on them. Belmont made the switch - by just 11 votes - but most communities did not.

The measure had the support of more than a majority of voters in Northwood, Deering and Meredith but not the required super-majority. In Pittsfield, Hopkinton and Gilmanton, it didn't even garner a majority of the vote.

The town of Bristol and the Inter-Lakes and Winnisquam school districts also voted on SB2 last night, but those results were not available by deadline..."
