In among the various ballots running in addition to the federal ones yesterday, several States were voting on the issue of same-sex marriage (the first to offer a vote on the issue).
As of early this morning, Maine and Maryland had approved it, while Washington (the State, not DC) was weighing a similar initiative (early indications positive) and Minnesota looked as though it was going to reject an initiative to enshrine in the state's constitution a definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin elected its first female Senator - who also happens to be lesbian, Illinois elected its first disabled woman, while New Hampshire became the first state ever to have an all-woman federal delegation and governor.
