An amendment to ban same-sex marriage was on the ballot in 11 states. Most notable here are Michigan, and Ohio. The interesting thing about this isn’t that it passed in all 11 states. I believe what isn’t getting a lot of coverage right now is the affect this had on the presidential race. Religious conservatives — who voted at least 75% for Bush — feel very strongly about this issue and it is likely that hundreds of thousands of conservatives voted for Bush after coming to the polls to vote on the amendment. I believe that will turn out to be the deciding factor in Ohio and Michigan.

Ummm I thought Oregon passed it? At least that’s what CNN was saying at some point Tuesday night. (Not that I believe CNN or anything… maybe I’ll just say, “word on the street is…”)
