Don't get out the vote

A referendum to reinforce existing laws to ban same-sex marriage and adoption went before voters in Slovakia. Of the votes cast, 94% approved the tougher laws. But the new provisions will not become law because only 21.4% of eligible voters cast ballots. To become law the proposals needed a quorum of voters to participate. Pro-gay groups asked supporters to stay away from the ballot box.

Alas, Pope Francis was very much in support of these provisions.
