Twin Cities Area Voters Take to Social Media To Talk Election

Minnesota voters young and old used Twitter to talk about their Minnesota Election decisions, particularly on the proposed Marriage Amendment.

Despite support from the Minnesota GOP, Patch's panel thinks the amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman will fall short.

For the first time a new poll shows both failing. Minnesotans United for All Families 'Vote No' ad has Anoka County official. Fridley-area churches take sides on marriage amendment.

A new statewide survey from Public Policy Polling shows both proposed amendments to the Minnesota Constitution falling short of the support needed to pass. The poll, released Saturday night, is the first with more than 50 percent of likely voters opposed to both the marriage and voter ID amendments. The marriage amendement has drawn public support and opposition from a variety of corners: Anoka County's new veterans-affairs director, state Sen.
