Would you agree to a 5% special tax on gasoline if the money raised would go to develop a "green" and efficient high-speed rail system in the US?

Support for the proposed 5% gasoline tax staged a dramatic late rise. “No” led with 67% after the opening day, but “Yes” moved ahead on day 2 and reached 60% at the next checkpoint.

The final tally reversed that momentum: “No” finished with 688 votes, or 58.9%, while “Yes” ended at 481 votes. The late upset reshaped the race, but did not decide its final outcome.

• Late reversal · “Yes” took the lead on day 2 after “No” led early.
• Final gap · “No” finished 207 votes ahead.
• 60% surge · “Yes” reached 60% at the final checkpoint.
