Signs for and against a proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights in Ohio stand in front of the Greene County Board of Elections in Xenia, Ohio, Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, the first day of in-person voting. Tuesday is Election Day. It’s a sleeper in California: Only a few scattered races for school board and a handful of local issues are in play.
On Tuesday, voters in Ohio will decide the fate of Issue 1, a ballot measure that would establish a right to abortion in the state constitution. Republican lawmakers, including Gov. Mike DeWine, have pushed for a ban after six weeks and oppose the measure. But Issue 1 leads in the polls. Democrats see abortion rights as critical to turning out women and younger voters in the 2024 race for president and control of Congress. Abortion-rights advocates are working to place initiatives on the ballot in several states next year, including key swing states like Arizona and Nevada, along with Colorado, Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska.
“Youngkin is backed by Rupert Murdoch and a large number of billionaires,” said Larry Sabato, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia. “Of course if Democrats hold even one house, the air will quickly go out of Youngkin’s trial balloon, and there will be no abortion ban.”This is another race with potential impacts for the White House. In Kentucky, Democrat Andy Beshear, 45, is trying to win a second term as governor.
