Gay Marriage Ban Passes in Virginia




Our first call: CNN says that the ban on same-sex marriage will pass in Virginia, which is a surprisingly quick call on a vote that looked like it could be close. Polls are closed in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Vermont and New Hampshire. No word on the governors races in those states, which says more about how low a priority governors races are for the national media than it does about the competitiveness of those elections.
