Overcrowding is said to be a problem, but voters have failed to pass votes for a new one.
About 5% of enrolled voters fail to vote at most elections.
Last November, voters failed to approve $300 million for a new jail.
The voters apparently failed to watch in the right way.
The voters have not failed to understand Labour's message (which needs only to be clarified for its appeal to strike home).
However in 1952 voters failed to approve a resolution bond.
In such case, the voters have failed to make a choice, and they proceed to vote again.
If the voter fails then the complete system will fail.
What the "no" voters fail to take into account is context.
The voters simply failed to see much difference between the candidates.
