Homo Early Returns In Maine

Posted by Stranger Election Control Board on Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 5:46 PM

The first numbers are in and they don't look good. Only 19 of 605 precincts have reported, however, so... fingers crossed.

UPDATE: And now with 11 more precincts in... things look bettter. "NO" is ahead—55 to 45. It's going to be a long, long night, people.

UPDATE 2: Rex Wockner is in Maine, covering the Question 1 campaign. He's at the "No on 1" campaign party. He's posting pictures, commentary, and the results as they come to to his blog.

That site is showing 54 No, 45 Yes. Don't voteres need to reject that measure to keep Gay Marriage?

A no vote in Maine upholds marriage equality. It was 54% No just now.

After 32 precincts, we're winning.

Gay marriage looks good, and if you scroll down looks like Medical Marijuana is passing too.
Go Maine progressives.

This war is not over, battles are fought. Some are won others are lost. No Gay American that is out is going back into the closet. Stiff upper lip Olde Boy! Carry on. Next year equality...

True @12, but only 28% of precincts have reported. There's still hope...

Posted by RatGirl on November 3, 2009 at 7:34 PM

i'm watching like a hawk - it's only the narrowest margin, so yes ... fingers def. crossed!

Posted by mr. herriman on November 3, 2009 at 7:37 PM

Hoping for the best! We can still win, as 14 said, there is still hope, not all is lost.
