They also voted down the gerrymandered map that the supreme court had to shut down three times.
Great news to be sure but damn, only flipped a single seat to Democrat. Still following the grand tradition of keeping on voting the same people who wants to strip your rights you just voted for away.
Again, still great news all around!
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.
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.
And Virginia enshrined abortion rights in their constitution yesterday
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

Basically all the dems take money from AIPAC in MO so it never feels like a true victory
Edit: not to discredit the victory entirely, just to highlight my personal frustrations
