Number of Californians Whose Minds Need Changing? 599,602
Final election results show that 599,602 more California voters cast ballots in favor of outlawing same-sex marriage than voted to keep such unions legal. The official tally certified Saturday by Secretary of State Debra Bowen has Proposition 8 passing 52.3 percent to 47.7 percent — the same spread the gay marriage ban held based on early results from the Nov. 4 election.

Only half of the 599,602 people (plus one) need to have their minds changed.
Instead of settling for 599,602 (or 1/2 +1), why not 52.3% of the population?
Actually, Everyone’s mind needs changing.
