Abortion-rights advocates have achieved victories in Missouri and Virginia. In Missouri, a proposed amendment to reimpose abortion restrictions was defeated, maintaining the state’s abortion rights. Virginia’s measure establishes a fundamental right to reproductive freedom in the state constitution. Meanwhile, voters in Missouri rejected a new congressional map backed by President Donald Trump that had been designed to help Republicans gain an additional seat. In Maryland, voters approved an amendment that could pave the way for congressional redistricting. Supporters had touted it as a way to "stop Trump." Various states are also considering measures on transgender restrictions, voter ID mandates, and citizen voting rights.
