Any news on the gay marriage vote in CA? |
|
The Boston Globe said it was still undecided this morning with a lot of votes uncounted.

1. 3 million absentee and provisionals still out |
|
and only a quarter million vote plurality for "yes" at this moment.

2. Not looking good at the moment. |
|
But it's not over yet. Currently, those in favor of the ban are winning 52% to 48%.
It's sad that the vote would even be this close after such an amazing night.

5. The vote seems to have been close most everywhere in CA. |
|
It's really tragic that people who would vote for other progressive measures and candidates would then turn around and support such a horrible, bigoted initiative.
I wish I could say that one group or another that caused this, but the voting results indicate that the YES vote came from many different places and groups.
Very sad, indeed.

6. I think it is safe to say with certainty that it is not |
|
over yet. It is too close to call.
