Maine Election Results 2009

Maine election results 2009 are anticipated. The Maine gay marriage vote is important to Maine voters this election year. Maine election results 2009 for the Maine gay marriage question 1 have many implications.
In May, Maine’s governor signed an order which legalized gay marriage in Maine. Question 1 during the Maine election in 2009 centers on a “citizens veto” of legalized gay marriage.

The Maine gay marriage vote during the Maine election 2009 is important either way you look at it.
