Election Day: What Else is Being Voted on Today?

The nation is electing the man who will lead the country as President for the next four years…but there are many other officials and issues being voted on in precincts nationwide.

The entire House of Representatives is up for election, while 1/3 of the seats in the U.S. Senate are up for grabs.  As voters cast their ballots for those jobs, some will also elect the person to lead their state government.

FOX News Radio’s Hank Weinbloom reports:

Washington’s referendum is to either approve or reject same-sex marriage, which is scheduled to become legal in December.  Minnesota’s amendment would ban gay marriage, but allow civil unions.  On Election Eve, Maryland Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley reaffirmed his support for a measure to uphold the state legislature’s approval of same-sex marriage earlier this year.

(O’Malley) “The bill that is before the voters on Referendum of Question 6 protects religious freedom and protects every child’s home equally under the law.”

And Maine voters could re-legalize same-sex marriage after it was overturned in 2009.
