New Jersey Assembly Passes Marriage Equality in 41-33 Vote

Marriage equality has passed the New Jersey Assembly in a 44-31 vote. The bill passed the Senate last week.

Governor Chris Christie has vowed to take "swift action" to veto the bill.

A two-thirds vote in each chamber is necessary to override Christie's veto, and can be attempted as many times as necessary until January 2014. A veto override would require 13 more votes.
