Voting Day

As a society and a selective group we lost. By a slim margin, and thats a hopeful sign but we still lost. Vote NO gathered 238,398 votes..47.25 percent. Vote Yes gathered 266,324 votes...52.75 percent. Good thing I am single and have no wedding plans in sight.



It's 10:30, 28 percent have posted results and it's 50/50.



As of about 7 this evening it has been too close to speculate a victory for either side. There was going to be an estimated 35 percent turnout for the votes..it is now guesstimated at 50 to 55 percent turnout. PBS says this has been the hottest twitter thread all day..who knew little ole Maine could cause such controversy. The voting place in town is the Civic Center. The police have been called twice as a precautionary measure after the verbal sparing got a little out of hand. The things we do for our religion. A couple weeks back the South Portland Catholic Church gave $152,600. 00 to the vote yes campaign. All of the cathoilic churchs here in town have only Vote Yes placards on their property. I guess that seperation of church and state has gotten a little fuzzy,



Morning Folks

Today is voting day....among the questions is the gay marraige bill..reject it or make it legal. As far as I know we are the last state in New England to have his legalized. It's gonna be kinda cool to have all of New England protected. I personally don't want to get married but if that ever changes I do WANT THE OPTION.
I will amend this as the day goes on and I get more information. I voted last week so as to avoid the crush. It is a work day for me so it was easier that way. They are expecting a 35/40 percent turnout which I am reading in paper is a higher than normal one.
