17. Not Sure All Those Votes Are From the Bad Guys. |
|
Like lots of the proposition ballots, I think the wording on this is poor. Granted, anyone familiar with current events at all in Maine should be aware of what the law is, but I can totally see some people who aren't aware that it IS now legal voting YES, thinking that they're voting FOR gay marriage. Not to mention what I can only imagine is the surprising number of people who don't truly understand what "repealed" means.
What was wrong with simply asking, "Should same-sex marriage be legal?"

20. "Should same-sex marriage be legal?" Because that would be too clear and easy. |

5. They need to have another poll that asks |
|
"Should people be able to vote on the civil rights of others?"

34. I don't live in Maine, but as far as I know, gay marriage is legal. |
|
So my answer to the poll would be no.
Am I following correctly here?
Sorry to come across as a dumbass. :silly:

35. Correct, and don't feel bad. I hate the convoluted way they word things here. Sometimes |
|
I leave the voting booth wondering what I actually voted for. x(

If you go to the page, then vote, then leave the site, then go back in, it will let you vote repeatedly.
This is probably how the YES vote count got so high ..... some Xtian Fundy with nothing better to
do than wait for the Rapture, and vote repeatedly.
