Good for them.
South Dakota was also weirdly close (called with only Shannon County outstanding). Even considering a bad year for the GOP, considering that Montana banned same-sex marriage with 67% of the vote. And I don't even think the South Dakota part banned civil unions.
Colorado was a disappointment.
It did ban civil unions, actually. The text was: “Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in South Dakota. The uniting of two or more persons in a civil union, domestic partnership, or other quasi-marital relationship shall not be valid or recognized in South Dakota.”
Part of the controversy was what exactly a "quasi-marital relationship" was, and how exactly the ambiguous term could have unintended consequences.
