Real estate

Location, location, location. We all know it's true of real estate. But it may also apply to the ballot box. Because a team of American [researchers:scientists] has found that where people vote affects how they vote. The scientists looked at results from the 2000 general election. In Arizona that year, the ballot included an [initiative:decorative] to raise state taxes to support education. What they found is that people who [happened:wished] to be voting in a school [building:campus] were more likely to vote for the [proposal:plural] than people who voted at a firehouse or a church. Their results appear in the June 23rd issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
