A ballot measure that would have enshrined abortion rights in Florida's Constitution failed on Tuesday, NBC News projects, after a political fight that was among the most hotly contested in the state this election cycle. The amendment won majority support from Florida voters, but it needed to cross the 60% threshold to pass under state law. Its defeat is a setback for reproductive rights groups in the red-leaning state and a victory for Republican Gov.
The state’s “actions regarding Amendment 4 have been inaccurate, misleading, abusive and fraudulent.” State agencies under DeSantis’ control also used taxpayer dollars to produce and purchase campaign-style TV ads blasting the proposal, a move that further fueled critics’ concerns that state resources were being used inappropriately.
