Several States Could Define Marriage Tuesday

Same-Sex Amendments Succeeded In Two States Already

The idea of a Federal Marriage Amendment failed in the U.S. Senate this year, but Tuesday's election could see many states enacting their own definitions of marriage.

Measures will go before voters in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah.

Some of the proposals not only define marriage as between a man and a woman, but would bar legislatures from setting up other systems, such as civil unions, that have the same effect as marriage.

In Utah, for instance, the proposal bars unions that have "substantially equal legal effect."
