...Schlafly's tactics seem to be working. Of the states that have voted on ERA in 1973, Minnesota, Oregon, Wyoming and South Dakota have ratified it, but North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah have defeated it outright, and at least five others have struck it down by more subtle means-Montana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Virginia.
