U of M students were obviously not a bastion of anti-gay support: http://www.minnpost.com/politics-policy/2012/11/youth-vote-s-overwhelming-opposition-doomed-marriage-and-voting-amendments
By the same standard it'd be pretty bizarre if medical residents were mostly in favor of the amendment, as demographically they'd be one of the least likely groups to support it (post-graduate education). Furthermore medical residents are definitely NOT a group I'd expect to vote yes on banning gay marriage and for Obama, which is the case in these precincts. Of the Ward 6 precincts that voted yes, two (precincts 3 and 5) also gave Obama over 90% of the vote and another (7) gave Obama over 85% of the vote. Only precinct vote gave Romney a significant percentage (33.85%) and it's home to a fundamentalist university. The other precincts clearly show some demographic group that significantly voted Obama/Yes.
