Equality has been leading but it's narrowing. I haven't checked Washington because polls haven't closed.

Yes we can win this at the polls. Of course human rights should never be up for a vote.

The Maine legislature passed marriage equality years ago and a "people's veto" at the time overturned it by popular vote. I'm hoping this is a sign that Maine has evolved on this issue.
