Nevada voters come out for Bush and brothels By ALAN FREEMAN The Globe and Mail, Toronto Tuesday, November 9, 2004 WASHINGTON -- What do moral values have to do with legalized brothels? Not much in Churchill County, Nevada, or so it seems. Last week, the small county in northern Nevada voted 71 per cent for the re-election of President George W. Bush, whose campaign leaned heavily on fundamentalist Christian values such as opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion. On the same ballot, voters also crushed an effort to ban the county's legalized brothels by a margin of nearly 2-1. "It totally blows me away," said Alan Perazzo, head of the Coalition to End Prostitution in Churchill County. "I'm as confused as the next guy. We voted 72 per cent for Bush and 63 per cent to keep the brothels." ---------------------------------- Folks, This will be my last post on the US elections.
