Boy, this is starting to feel like 2004.

New vote tallies are starting to roll in on HJR 4204, the constitutional amendment to allow passage of school tax levies by a simple majority, rather than the decades-old requirement of a 60 percent “supermajority.”

The amendment is still failing so far, but the margin — more than 1,000 votes this morning — is now down to 649 votes.
