US election: America goes liberal with gay marriage, abortion and cannabis votes
The generally liberal moves were decided among more than 170 ballot initiatives and referendums held across the country, as it re-elected Democratic President Barack Obama for four more years. ...Three states voted Tuesday to legalise same-sex marriage, including Maine – which voted in a referendum against it in 2009, but reversed that decision with 54 per cent in favour to 46 per cent against.
