GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) _ Voters in northeastern North Dakota's Walsh

County have overwhelming approved a shared-parenting initiative.

The county measure passed Tuesday with 66 percent approval.

The measure establishes equal parental rights for divorced or

separated parents, as long as neither parent is legally determined

to be an unfit parent. It was spearheaded by a Park River man who

was the main promoter of a similar statewide ballot measure that

voters rejected in 2006.
