Several states will include a same-sex marriage question on their ballot in the upcoming election. Minnesota voters will have the opportunity to amend the state constitutionin November , defining marriage as a heterosexual relationship. On Monday, proponents of the ballot initiative petitioned the state Supreme Court to restore the original title of the proposed amendment [JURIST report], arguing that its amended title is misleading. Last month, citizens in Washington obtained enough signatures [JURIST report] to challenge newly passed same-sex marriage legislation. The state's ballot will contain a section asking voters to accept or reject the new legislation. Similarly, a group supporting same-sex marriage in Maine achieved enough signatures [JURIST report] in February to have the question of same-sex marriage appear on its ballot. Earlier that month, New Jersey governor Chris Christie vetoed legislation [JURIST report] that would have legalized same-sex marriage in the state, and called for a state-wide referendum on the issue.
