Marriage Equality Update

More

Here's a quick roundup of the latest marriage-equality numbers. The issue of same-sex marriage is on the ballot in four states: Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington. Polls in the last state don't close until 11 p.m. Eastern, but results are beginning to come in for the others.


In Maine, marriage-equality proponents have the upper hand, 55-45.

In Maryland, the contest is very close: 51 percent to 49 percent, with same-sex marriage supporters with a slight edge.

In Minnesota, the question is worded slightly differently as a matter of banning same-sex marriage. Opponents of the ban are leading, 57-42.

Overall, it appears as though marriage-equality advocates are poised to win a few victories tonight.
