Florida voters inserted into the state constitution a ban on same-sex marriage, narrowly passing Amendment 2 in Tuesday's election.Narrowly passing? I'm confused here, how does "narrowly passing" and 62% exist in the same article?

It probably requires a 3/5 (60%) vote to pass. Thus the ‘narrow’.

A simple majority of votes is not enough to amend the Florida constitution.

It takes more than 60% of the votes to amend the Florida Constitution.
