| Description | Voters in Maine are deciding today whether or not to repeal a law allowing same-sex marriage, and could make their state the first in the country to embrace gay marriage at the ballot box. Similar measures -- most famously California's Proposition 8 -- have all been successful in striking down judicial attempts to legalize same-sex marriage. Final polls show Maine voters evenly split on Question 1, a measure that has drawn national attention and a horde of activists to the state.
Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap told Politico that turnout has been higher than expected, and could reach 50 percent of the state's electorate, a solid 15 percent above the projected number. |
