What did states vote for in November 2024?

The November election brought numerous hotly debated topics to the ballot.  Controversial issues on the 2024 ballot were ranked choice voting (RCV), non-citizen voting, abortion rights, and the legalization of recreational marijuana.  As far as the issues go, voters favored abortion as a constitutional right in six of nine states that voted on the measure.  The other measures were largely rejected.

Abortion

Despite progressive arguments to the contrary, the Dobbs decision has not made abortion inaccessible.  Rather, it gives the states the ability to regulate abortion.  The federalist perspective is to bring decisions about important issues as close to the legislative and voter base as possible, ideally making those decisions more closely representative of the people’s will.

As such, voters in six states have spoken resoundingly, and those states are not all deep “blue” states.  Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, and  Nevada passed initiatives or amendments to create a “constitutional right to abortion.”  Politico published live results on the issues being discussed.

  1. Republicans! Straight ticket!
    (I dunno whut it’s called if someone votes an all democRAT ticket, but it sure as hell isn’t straight)
    Ron White bourbon sip…

    Ranked choice voting… should be Rank Choice voting cuz it really stinks. RCV is simply a tool to obfuscate, confuse and give democRATz wiggle room to cheat.
