Notes<\/h3>\n

A large fraction of the no campaign websites, perhaps most, have been coded so that they are not visible to search engines such as Google or Bing.\u00a0 If the past is a reliable guide, many of these websites will be deleted shortly after the referendum with no public trace remaining.<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind the distinction between communications to members and the general public. The type of communication tends to be quite different in the two cases. \u00a0In general, the no campaign has one classy coalition website that is promoted to the public. \u00a0Meanwhile, its coalition member organizations have separate websites directed to their own members.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the yes campaign has no well-organized coalition and accompanying website. \u00a0Instead, organizations supporting a yes vote each tend to have their own website directed to the general public. \u00a0The logic of such websites and related media is discussed in Snider, J.H.,\u00a0Why Foes of a State Constitutional Convention Have The Upper Hand<\/a>, City & State<\/em>, September 13, 2017.<\/p>\n
