INTERESTING ANECDOTES FROM MICHIGAN: From the Grand Rapids Press

[Haven't seen this factor mentioned elsewhere. Doubtless a lot of amendments and initiatives are confusing to native English speakers, let alone people for whom it's a second language; still, I thought this was worth noting. --Eve]

There was some confusion among Hispanic voters about the language of Proposal 2.

Grand Rapids resident Franky Pagan said he opposes gay marriage but voted "no" on Proposal 2. "I strongly believe in the Bible, and I believe marriage is between a man and a woman," said Pagan after voting at Hall Elementary. "I guess I didn't have the correct information," he said.

Maria Santiago, 44, of Grand Rapids, made the same mistake.

"I voted no because I believe in God, and God said a man and a woman should be together, not a man and a man."
