I've never denied that.
Indeed, I have often noted that sometimes those other elections are used as a means to get voters to the polls.
Much like Democrats endeavoring to get abortion on the ballot this November.
... A push to ask Arizona voters to add a right to abortion to the state constitution took on new stakes this week when the state's Supreme Court ruled that the state can enforce a ban on abortion in all stages of pregnancy.
Arizona is one of several states where abortion might be on the ballot this year.
Across the country, there have been increased efforts to put abortion rights questions to voters since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and removed the nationwide right to abortion.
Since that 2022 decision, most Republican-controlled states have new abortion restrictions in effect, including 14 that ban it at every stage of pregnancy. Most Democrat-dominated states have laws or executive orders to protect access.
Additionally, voters in seven states -- California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Ohio and Vermont -- have sided with abortion rights supporters on ballot measures.
It's not clear yet how many states will vote on measures to enshrine abortion access in November. In some, the question is whether amendment supporters can get enough valid signatures. In others, it's up to the legislature. And there's legal wrangling in the process in some states. ...
Whoa... voters in Kansas, Kentucky, Montana (Montana!) have sided with abortion rights supporters.
