"Well try Arkansas ( 75/25 ) , Georgia ( 76/24 ) , Kentucky ( 75/25 ) , Michigan ( 59/41 ) , Mississippi ( 86/14 ) , Montana ( 67/33 ) , North Dakota ( 73/27 ) , Ohio ( 62/38 ) , Oklahoma ( 76/24 ) , Oregon ( 57/43 ) , and Utah ( 66/34 ) . All of these margins were well above the percentage of votes cast for Bush and Kerry , respectively . Ohio , for instance , went to Bush by 2 % , but the ban was passed by 24 % . Bush lost Oregon by 4 % , but the ban passed by 14 % . Bush lost Michigan by 3 % , but the ban passed by 18 % . The margin of victory for each of these states exceeds George Bush 's margin of victory in that state . Those extra votes had to come from somewhere , and it seems like many people other than the `` religious right `` feel the same way ."
"Here in the Midwest , large numbers of diehard black Democrats voted for Kerry and against gay marriage . It truly was a cross-over issue that transcended party politics ."
