On Tuesday, voters in three states approved measures recognizing same-sex marriage and eliminating now-unenforceable provisions to the contrary in their state constitutions.
In California, voters declared marriage to be a fundamental right and repealed a state constitutional provision that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The vote was 61.04% in favor and 38.96% opposed.
In Colorado, voters removed a constitutional provision that only permitted state recognition of marriages between one man and one woman. The vote was 63.88% in favor and 36.12% opposed.
In Hawaii, voters removed a constitutional provision that allowed the legislature to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples. The vote was 55.99% in favor and 44.01% opposed.
