It isn't clear how the "veto referendum" process works in Maryland. Does it require a majority of voters to uphold the legislature's same-sex marriage bill (which I believe is the case in Washington state), or does it require a majority of voters to rescind it? Big difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.111.254.17 ( talk) 13:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
How the veto referendum works in Maryland is simple and straightforward. The question presented on your ballot will ask whether you approve of a law that has been passed in the legislature (Civil Marriage Protection Act), and it will have a simple description of what the law does (allow same-sex couples to obtain a state civil marriage license).
The majority on either side will be the decider on the question, whether yes or no. – ツ Teammm ( talk · email) 16:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
If what you're saying is accurate, then if 49% vote for the law and 45 percent vote against it (with 6% choosing not to vote at all on this issue), then the law is effectively vetoed. In other words, opponents of same-sex marriage don't need a majority to vote against it, they just need to keep a majority from voting FOR it (i.e., a non-vote is the same as a no-vote). Is this correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.111.254.17 ( talk) 17:24, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

"Support and Opposition" seems a bit densely constructed, with many links competing for a small amount of real estate. Would it be better from a readability / flow standpoint to sectionalize these contributors into groups comprised of sequential lists of similar people / entities?

It shows over 1 million blank and invalid votes that is a ton. They aren't from people voting from president because the number voting for president and the valid votes are very similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.178.25 ( talk) 18:04, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Maybe at the top of the page, there could be a "For the mathematical problem, see Vieta jumping." If not a full disambiguation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.133.116 ( talk) 18:40, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
