Moore calls for constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages.

Moore joined 16 ministers of the Alabama Coalition Against Same Sex Marriage in calling for a vote on the ban the day of the Republican primary (June 6). Moore is the honorary chairman of the Coalition and he is stumping for a high voter turnout.

"Christians across the state have an obligation to turn out on something as important than this."

Moore obviously supports the ban but the amendment is strategic as well. The base of Moore's support is more likely to show up to vote for the ban and that helps him get his voters to the polls if the vote is held on the same day as the primary.

The ban, which Riley supports too, will probably pass as it already has in Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Arkansas. Maybe the amendment vote will bring out just as many anti-Moore voters as well.
