Has American democracy died an electronic death in Ohio 2005's referenda defeats?

A suggestion that the recent Ohio elections' referenda results are statistically unlikely (to put it mildly).

Anyone seen any independent reporting on this topic?

I only got this far: "This poll was based on 1,872 registered Ohio voters, with a margin of error at plus/minus 2.5 percentage points and a 95 percent confidence interval."

And then figured briefly, and came up with a standard deviation of 1033.1 voters. *blink* And then I stopped. :) Wish I knew more about the way they were using the numbers.
