Reply #37: Look at the way the ballots are always worded [View All]

Prop 8 . a "yes" meant NO..and in Maine, I think it was the same today..

The referendums are usually long, wordy pieces of double-talk & lawyerese, and in Prop8's case many people actually thought they voted FOR gay rights, but it ended up being the opposite..

and as always, people who are vehemently OPPOSED to something, are usually more eager to toss their two-cents into the mix.

There were probably many people who thought that since it was a "law" already, they did not need to vote...
