Stand for Marriage Maine declared victory around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, saying that Question 1 has passed.
Opponents of Question 1 did not concede, saying they will continue to count ballots as long as it takes to receive a definitive answer.
“The institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across this nation,” said Frank Shubert, speaking for Yes on 1.
“What the people of Maine had to say is that marriage matters, and that it’s between a man and a woman,” said Marc Mutty, chairman of Stand for Marriage Maine.
