Maine election officials reported today a steady turnout at the polls as residents vote on gay marriage.
"The eyes of the nation will be on Maine," Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, told the AP. "The stakes are high, but so is our hope that Maine will remain among the growing number of states that extend the essential security and legal protections of marriage to all loving, committed couples."
I voted in favor of gay marriage because it's a "basic issue of fairness," Tom Denenberg, a Maine resident, told CBS.
Maine will "live in infamy" if Mainers vote in favor of gay marriage because no other states' residents have done so, Chuck Schott told CBS after voting.
More than 100,000 absentee ballots have been returned, Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap told CBS.
Maine residents also are voting on two tax-related referendums and proposals calling for the repeal of the state's school district consolidation law and an expansion of the state's medical marijuana law, CBS said.
