They also voted down the gerrymandered map that the supreme court had to shut down three times.
God damn, is there any bad news at all from yesterday’s voting?
The California billionaire tax didn’t pass, which imo was the most important measure on the ballot.
Yes, trans people lost rights in propositions that passed across 3 or 4 states.
Which states? I’m sure that they are already “dangerous” states for the trans community anyways.
And while I know that it comes across as snark, it’s to be expected in certain states.
The Washington state “genital exam” measure for girls sports passed.
That doesn’t surprise me. I was forced to live next door in Idaho for 5 years. WA state is not nearly as progressive outside of Seattle as you’d hope. I found out once I visited a few times.
The whole eastern half of WA is pretty shit, politics included, imo.
And Virginia enshrined abortion rights in their constitution yesterday
Kept abortion legal and banned the legislature from hindering ballot measures. The state sovereign wealth fund was voted down, which I’m ambivalent about and requiring county sheriffs to be an elected position keeps going back and forth but looks like it passed.
It even looks like Idaho voted Yes for their Prop 1. Only by 2000 votes, but it’s shocking.
That’s like a third of the population though, right? 😉
And we finally fucking got rid of Ann Wagner
another banger for the history books
