Secretary of State Max Maxfield says a proposed constitutional amendment that would have expanded the duties of district court commissioners appears to have failed to pass. Unofficial results from Tuesday's election show Wyoming voters approved two other amendments - one on health care and the other on the right to hunt, fish and trap wildlife. All three amendments received a majority of yes votes. But Maxfield says that in order for a constitutional amendment to pass, it must receive a majority of the total ballots cast in the election. Since unofficial results show 248,417 ballots cast in the election, a constitutional amendment needed 124,208 to pass. The district court commissioner proposal fell about 2,000 votes.
