Ballotpedia.org has results and details on dozens of additional ballot measures

30 of the 50 states have now constitutionally protected traditional marriage

Thanks to all those who prayed and helped in passing the marriage amendments in Arizona, California, and Florida and in defeating the casino referendum in Ohio.

For all those who worked for the life amendments in California, Colorado, and South Dakota, against assisted suicide in Washington, and for all who distributed voter guides, your efforts were not in vain and God will use them for good in His time!

Win or lose, we must not give up on the battles for our faith and our culture!
