MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether the state's ban on gay marriage was properly put to voters.

Political science instructor William McConkey claims the referendum illegally put two issues to voters at the same time. A Dane County judge dismissed the case last year and McConkey appealed to the District 4 Court of Appeals.

That Madison-based court on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to take the case. The appeals court says the case presents several new legal issues that should be decided by the higher court.

The referendum asked whether to rewrite the constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman and outlaw the state from granting a similar legal status to unmarried individuals. Nearly 60 percent of voters approved.
