CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina voters on Tuesday approved Amendment One, a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

With all counties reporting, the amendment passed with the support of 61 percent of voters; just 39 percent voted against the measure.

The measure effectively bans not only same-sex marriages but also civil unions, making it one of the strictest of the marriage amendments approved in 29 states.
