Kansans Approve Gay Marriage Amendment By Wide Margin

We still don't know the final fate of Douglas. Only one of the two precincts have reported.

Stevens hasn't reported anything in yet

Logan, Marion, Cowley and Leavenworth still have at least a single precinct remaining.

[Stormcrow]

Can you by chance provide a link to the video of the judges fighting each other for the right to be first to declare this "unconstitutional"?

[JosephW]

Salina has a large arts community and they almost always go left.

[srm913]

That is indeed strange. Are there large numbers of college students there or something? (It's been a long time since I've been to Salina, though I went to Wichita last year.)

[srm913]

Never mind, JosephW answered my question.

[Kuksool]

Wichita has a growing Hispanic community.

[rwfromkansas]

There is, but it is a Christian institution that is conservative.

Another poster said there is a large arts community there.

[JosephW]

204 reporting. Apparently 203 in favor.

Cowley just passed it.

Logan, Marion and Leavenworth are still waiting on a single precinct each, but are leaning towards it.

Douglas is waiting on a single precinct but is leaning against it (University of Kansas and the largest homosexual community)

Still waiting on both precincts from Stevens County.

I actually live in an "older bluer" area of NE Johnson Co. and the average home price is $350,000, so the pro-gay agenda is particularly highest in mine as well as surrounding small cities (less wealthy/wealthier but common denominator - 2Catholic Parishes who really preach pro-gay "love" and both Parishes have had Priests who have been implicated in molestations of young men and boys.)

Probably would also have area residents who are interested in having a NAMBLA gathering.

A little more info on the Douglas vote

3647 Yes
5276 No

This is a single precinct and there is still another to be counted.

If this is the area directly around and including KU then it may still pass in that county.

[Lancey Howard]

Now here come the scumbag liberal activist Democrat judges to overturn the will of the people.

[Heartofsong83]

How can a constitutional amendment be overturned by judges???

[Colorado Buckeye]

“Eventually, moderate Kansans are going to stand up and say they've had enough,” Brown said.

I think they just did.

[JosephW]

205 reporting. Apparently 204 in favor.

Leavenworth just passed it.

Logan and Marion are still waiting on a single precinct each, but are leaning towards it.

Douglas (the communist stronghold) is waiting on a single precinct but is leaning against it (KU is located there)

Still waiting on both precincts from Stevens County (but it should be an easy pass there)

[Heartofsong83]

Anyone who is not socially liberal would probably oppose gay marriage.

[DTogo]

Fly-over country news * ping *

[Petronski]

"What's wrong with Kansas?"




ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

[JosephW]

Make that 206. Looks like 205 in favor.

Marion just passed it.

Logan still has a precinct out, but is leaning towards it

Douglas still has a precinct out, but is leaning against it

Stevens still has both out.

Okay - here's my questions for anyone who can answer:

1) Has any state -not- passed such an amendment where it's come up for a vote, and has it always required a two-thirds majority?

2) What are the 18 states with such bans so far? The only ones I can conclude from this article are Kansas and Missouri.
