I enjoyed reading the Stranger‘s election coverage last night, immensely. From great photos of the “yes on 71” party, to great photos of the “no on 71” party:

And guess what? The Stranger‘s endorsee for mayor, Mike McGinn, came out on top, too!

There’s links to all the coverage here. Meanwhile, Maine voters surprised and disappointed by voting to repeal the state’s gay marriage law. We’ll have reaction here from Basic Rights Oregonโ€”which is aiming for 2012, possibly, as a date to put marriage equality on the ballot hereโ€”shortly.

Boycott lobster!
