Official SSM Ballot Measure Thread

[twotrue]

I think we have posters from three of the four states that have ballot measures about SSM up for a vote.

Maine - Question 1 - We want it to pass.
Maryland - Question 6 - We want it to pass.
Washington - Referrendum 74 - We want it to pass.
Minnesota - Marriage Amendment - We do NOT want it to pass.

I'll be switching between local and national news throughout the night (and in between doing my homework) so if any of you are local to these areas, please post incoming results.

right now we are up 66/33. Holy hell. This might pass.

I'll try to post as soon as I know about 74, but it may not be tonight as we do mail in ballots that just need to be postmarked by today and WA is known for taking awhile to get some definitive results on close elections (one gubernatorial race wasn't decided until JUNE).

We can all follow results here: www.politico.com/2012-election/map/#/Measures/2012/

But keep the local/personal updates coming (they give me a study break!)!

So we're winning 3 out of 4. Washington only has 8% in and we're a bit behind there but I'm not going to get too upset about that yet.

Politico is calling it for Maryland!

[twotrue]

And they just called it for Maine!

[joyseattle]

Ours is up and it's looking good, but it won't be called for a while yet.

It's close in MN, but I'm not feeling that great. It makes me sad, despite so much overwhelming happiness in other places. Still hoping they pull it out. Minnesota has a long proud tradition of razor thin voting margins (let's just hope there's not a six month recount like for Senator Franken's eelection.)

[kershnic]

OMG, MN VOTED NO!!!!!! It matters so little and yet so much.

It still hasn't been officially called yet here in WA but we are up 51.79% to 48.21%. The next update of results will happen sometime around 4:30p PST today. I'm hoping there will be enough in then to call it.
