DC Board of Elections Hears Four Hours of Gay Marriage Testimony

The battle over same-sex marriage in the District moved to the city election board yesterday as supporters and opponents packed into a hearing room to debate whether the city should put the issue on the ballot. The D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics, which currently has two members and one vacancy, will determine whether voters should have a chance in a referendum to block a bill legalizing same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. The board heard four hours of testimony yesterday and is expected to make a decision Friday or early next week. Full Story from the Washington Post
