Voters back abortion rights, photo ID, and citizenship voting rules

nbcnews.com —

Voters in Tuesday's ballot measures largely supported abortion rights while also backing voter ID and citizenship requirements, shaping policy across more than three dozen states. Abortion rights amendments passed in Nevada and Virginia, while Missouri voters rejected a repeal of existing protections. Idaho voters, however, rejected establishing a statutory right to abortion. Voter-approved measures in several states affirmed photo ID rules and citizenship-only voting, with some amendments targeting noncitizen voting bans. California's billionaire tax remained too close to call, while Washington voters kept their millionaires tax. Missouri voters blocked a GOP congressional map, and Arizona approved a measure requiring school sports teams to be based on sex assigned at birth.
