Misleading claim on Kansas gay marriage vote
The note challenges Gov. Brownback's claim that 70 percent of Kansas voters approved the amendment. It cites April 2005 results: 417,627 yes and 179,432 no, with 1,694,365 registered voters as of October 2004 and only 35 percent turnout. It argues 25 percent of registered voters voted yes, not a majority, yet the amendment passed.
