More Than 100K Sign Petition to Reconsider Gay Marriage in Maine

"Gay-rights activists in Maine gathered more than 35,000 signatures on Election Day to support a 2012 ballot imitative that would allow same-sex couples to get marriage license, reported Equality Maine.

In 12 weeks volunteers were able to collect more than 100,000 signatures.

"Not only were we incredibly successful at gathering signatures at the polls today, but volunteers all over the state met voters who have changed their minds on this issue in the last two years," said Betsy Smith, EqualityMaine executive director.
