In some states, though, the opinions are split closer to 50/50, and getting just a few more people to vote can make all the difference. I imagine Washington will be closer to passing than NC was. Also, in presidential elections liberals and young people have a lower turnout. Maybe the same applies here and many liberals and youth in favor of same-sex marriage wouldn't be heading out to vote without either some coaxing or raised awareness. Some people probably have weak opinions or are unsure: I think awareness would push these people toward voting in favor. Just guessing, but it really doesn't sound all for naught to me.
