A ballot initiative seeking to define marriage as between “one man and one woman” in Washington state has fallen short of signatures needed, and won’t qualify for the November ballot.
The initiative — I-1192 — was one of two that opponents of same-sex marriage sought to place on the November ballot, likely in an effort to confuse voters. I-1192 would have asked voters to limit marriage to heterosexual couples only.
The other initiative — Referendum 74 — has qualified for the November ballot, and will ask voters to uphold or reject the state’s recently passed law legalizing same-sex marriage.
The failure of I-1192 clears the field for Referendum 74 to be the lone measure addressing same-sex marriage in the Nov. 6 general election, reported The Olympian.
