The Arizona State Senate's 14-11 vote is two shy of what's needed to send Nov. 4 voters a constitutional marriage ban, but they vote to try again.
The Arizona state Senate on Wednesday rejected a bill that would have placed a measure on the November ballot to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, the Associated Press reported.
The 14-11 vote was two shy of what was necessary to send the initiative to voters, according to AP.
Senators then voted to reconsider the bill at a later date, which could come as early as Friday.
Supporters of the proposal say it would prevent marriage from being redefined by a court or future lawmakers. Opponents counter that existing law makes the amendment unnecessary.
In 2006, Arizona voters became the first in the nation to stories related to Marriage ban fails vote for Ariz. ballot.
