LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in Michigan failed Monday to win certification that would put the issue before voters in November.

The Board of State Canvassers deadlocked along party lines on whether to certify more than 464,000 signatures in favor of the amendment. Supporters needed only 317,757 valid signatures.

Two Democrats on the board voted against certification, while two Republicans voted for it.

Eric Doster, an attorney for a group that collected the signatures, accused the Democrats of ignoring their legal duty, and vowed an immediate challenge in the courts.

1. The Republicans will fight to get this on, will our side fight as hard?

Let's hope so.
