Greg Ball Asks Twitter and Facebook Friends How to Vote on Gay Marriage Bill

New York is expected to become the sixth state to pass the gay marriage bill. In accordance with this, one of its state senators seems to seek help from his Facebook friends and Twitter followers.

Last weekend, New York Republican state senator – Greg Ball – asks his 2,500+ Twitter followers and 3,400 Facebook friends the question: “Opening up the discussion! So, if you were me, how would you vote on gay marriage? Yes or no?”

This controversial post perhaps made the state senate petrified. The said bill, legalizing same sex marriage, has been passed recently with a 80-63 vote. The bill was supported by almost 29 Democrats and two Republicans in the 62-member Senate. However, Politico pointed out that, “it is seen as not likely that Republican leadership will allow the chamber to vote on the bill if only one more Republican votes yes.” Thus, a scramble is on to secure at least two more GOP votes for the bill. The session is scheduled to take its end before midnight comes, although New York Governor – Andrew Cuomo – is capable to extend it.

Some reports say that Greg Ball’s Twitter followers are in favor of the gay marriage bill. But for his Facebook friends, it seems like a 50-50.
