Voters keep choosing to protect traditional marriage
New definitions added in 7 states, 1 vote total incomplete
Voters in Virginia – and six other states – have "settled" the issue of same-sex unions in their state by approving a constitutional definition that restricts marriage to the union of one man and one woman.
"We knew all along that a majority favored the amendment. It was just a matter of getting people to the polls," Victoria Cobb, whose Virginia organization called Family Foundation supported the proposal, said after yesterday's vote.Tonight, this issue has been settled," she said. Voters in Idaho, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Colorado, South Dakota and South Carolina also voted to approve such amendments.
The results from Arizona were incomplete, but showed the measure trailing by a few percentage points. If that becomes an official loss, it would be the only time in 28 attempts that a marriage protection constitutional amendment has not been endorsed by voters.
