On the topic of your research on the Portland Massacre, you note on that article "Her initial notes confirmed several voting errors where definite NAY votes were recorded as AYE." Is this backwards or were the votes the opposite of what you would expect (vote AYE to oppose the plank or NAY to support it) in which case could that have caused some confusion and led people to vote the opposite of the way they intended?

:: That's confusing - was this explained properly or is it possible some people voted AYE because they supported the planks? I know there are multiple theories as to why this occurred, just an interesting thought that came to me [[User:Dan Smith|Dan Smith]] ([[User talk:Dan Smith|talk]]) 06:44, 20 May 2022 (CDT) | |||
