Which states will matter most in the 2006 elections? Which states will face anti-gay ballot measures? Where will the LGBT vote matter most, and where should the DNC have state level LGBT focused outreach staff?

This new memo was designed to begin that discussion. It includes a useful reference chart so you can look at the state information and form your own opinions. Of course, a lot of information in the chart is going to change in the months ahead, so this is not meant to be a definitive document, but rather the beginning of a conversation about the 2006 election.
