Ballot measure takeaways: Voters back abortion rights, along with photo ID and citizenship requirements at the polls

Key Points:

• Voters across more than three dozen states mostly supported abortion rights, upheld voter ID laws, and affirmed that only U.S. citizens can vote in state elections through nearly 150 ballot measures.
• In Nevada and Virginia, constitutional amendments protecting abortion rights were passed by wide margins, while Missouri rejected a GOP measure to remove abortion protections, and Idaho voters rejected a measure to create abortion rights.
• Washington state voters rejected repealing the millionaire’s tax, while California’s billionaire tax proposition was trailing as votes continued to be counted.
• Several states, including West Virginia, South Dakota, and Kansas, approved constitutional amendments affirming that only U.S. citizens can vote, and others like Ohio and Nevada passed voter ID requirements; Virginia restored felons' voting rights post-release.
• Voters in Missouri blocked a GOP-drawn congressional map, and Maryland approved a Democratic-backed amendment for redistricting, while conservative groups targeted transgender rights with ballot measures in states like Arizona and Colorado.
