Amendment Two Vote Has All Eyes on MO

By Tom Weber, KWMU

St. Louis, MO – Voters in Missouri will decide Tuesday whether to add a definition of marriage to their state's constitution.

The vote marks a shift in focus over which, if any, constitution should define marriage as being between a man and woman.

A recent effort by some Senators to add a federal marriage amendment failed.

But voters in at least 11 states will decide this fall whether their states' constitutions need such a change.

That has supporters and opponents of the effort paying attention to tomorrow's vote in Missouri.
