Votes For Ratification: 70,315

Votes Against Ratification: 20,080

Percent for Ratification: 78%

Notes: Affected Sections 2 & 3 of Article IV The effective date of the 1873 amendments was the date of the canvass—by November 17, 1873, it seemed clear that the amendments had passed, but the official returns were not yet tallied. (Journal of the Senate 1873-74) Given that the Senate proceeded as though the amendments had passed, we use that date as an approximate effective date.
