Had it been OK or Utah, I would be disappointed with 52%.
But it was left-wing California. So I consider that an overwhelming majority. Probably influenced by the illegals, but I’ll take what I can get.
Arizona rejected an pro-marriage amendment in 2006, by 51%. Then, in 2008, they passed it by 56%. So the pro-marriage amendments are 31 for 32, with every state that tried it eventually passing it. I’m not sure if every state has a popular vote process for amendments.
Virginia only passed it by 57% in 2006. Hawaii passed it by an astounding(for Hawaii) 69%, but that was back in ‘98. Mississippi passed it by a whopping 86% in 2004! There are five states that passed amendments by majorities in the 52-59% range. I wonder how those votes would go in 10 years? In 50? Of course, that is if our masters in black robes just don’t decide to cut out the unwashed masses and decide for us.
