LaCrosse Approved Gay Marriage Amendment, Too

Turns out all but one Wisconsin county approved the amendment to ban gay marriage.

Initial returns showed Dane County voting overwhelmingly against the amendment with LaCrosse narrowly rejecting it.

But LaCrosse County Clerk Marion Naegle said her office found a mistake yesterday that flipped the results. Instead of 20,374 no votes and 20,358 yes votes that were initially reported, the final numbers were 21,172 no votes and 21,324 yes votes.

Naegle said the Town of Campbell had incorrectly tallied its votes, causing the discrepancy.

Overall, the amendment was approved, 59 percent to 41 percent.
