Huge turn out at the polls here in Maine, almost double what they expected I believe.
I'm glad I voted early - the footage I've seen from around the state is crazy.
Everyone is in a fuss over Question 1 here (should we overturn the gay marriage bill). I'm following pretty closely, but its still too early to tell. I've been afraid for weeks that our over-abundance of Catholics in this state would push the "yes" vote over the top.

No had more money and a bigger turn out would seem to favor no, so hopefully "we" can win.

What was the thing you voted on? San Francisco's Down Town is very nice from 5th n market lower.Above that is all crack heads and looks like something out of GTA world.What they want to do is redo it all move out those types of people and make it look sorta like New York down town they showed a photo of how it could look in ten years.So I am down with anything to make the city look better  |

The Democrat is winning in the NY-23 with 86% reporting. It's close, but he could pull off a major upset.
Corzine lost.

The Republican in the NY-23 has just conceded. A Democrat has won for the first time since the Civil War.

Looks like yes is going to win in Maine, though not confirmed, it seems unlikely they're going to make up the vote deficit right now.
There are two very different sides to the story right now, one claiming that the greater Portland area has already had all it's precincts reported. In which case, you can pretty much call it a victory for "yes" now.
However, others claim that not a single precinct in the Portland area has confirmed, in which case, no is still in it.

People shouldn't vote on civil rights issues. We didn't put voting rights or fair housing up to a vote. We didn't put up interracial marriage up to a vote. So why does gay marriage have to be put up to a vote?

So why does gay marriage have to be put up to a vote? I still agree with a government teacher I had back in high school, who said that in 25 years we're going to look back at this debate, realize how much time we wasted on it and how stupid it was in the first place. I hope he's right. |

It doesn't hurt you at all. What if your kid is gay? Don't you want them to be happy and be allowed to marry who they love, to be equal to you? |

Yes on 1 in Maine has announced victory, No on 1 has yet to concede. Local stations are expecting to call it within the next few minutes.

Well, there is still a slight margin of hope, albeit incredibly small. Local stations have confirmed that this is the biggest voter turn out for an off year election in Maine's history. There are still around 200 precincts yet to be reported (one can only hope the majority of them come from the south).
