On Tuesday, April 8, 2014, the House passed a proposed constitutional amendment by a vote of 107-5 that would change the state constitution to ensure no one is denied the right to register to vote or cast a ballot based on race, color, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation or income. Durkin co-sponsored the proposal. The measure would be placed on the November ballot if it passes by a three-fifths margin in the Senate. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman, File)
