I went to bed last night willing, reluctantly, to conceed that the results for the various amendments across the country might not be in the news. I probably should have looked harder. This morning I accepted no such conclusion and found them on CNN.[1] Scanning the list:
- They are not yet calling it, but it looks like the Same-Sex "Marriage" ban will fail in Arizona by about thirty thousand votes.
- Colorado voted against domestic partnerships, 53% to 47%.
- They also voted to ban Same-Sex "Marriages," 56% to 44%.
- Idaho voted to ban Same-Sex "Marriages," 63% to 37%.
- Missouri voted to allow embryonic stem cell research, 51% to 49%, a forty-five thousand vote difference.
- Parental Notification failed in Oregon, 54% to 46%.
- South Carolina voted to ban Same-Sex "Marriages," 78% to 22%.
- South Dakota failed to ban abortion, 44% to 56%.
- News from South Dakota is not all bad, they voted to ban Same-Sex "Marriages," 52% to 48%.
- Tennessee voted to ban Same-Sex "Marriages," 80% to 20%.
