Ten states will vote on constitutional amendments regarding abortion rights this election, including battleground states Arizona and Nevada. NBC News' Liz Kreutz reports more on how the issue is motivating voters in Arizona. Center for Reproductive Rights President and CEO Nancy Northup joins Ana Cabrera to discuss.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has been relentless in its efforts to derail a ballot initiative that could shore up abortion rights in his state. DeSantis has sent law enforcement to the homes of petition signatories who supported placing Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, on the ballot. And as I wrote last week, his administration has also tried to stop local TV stations from airing an ad in support of the measure.
4% of the nearly 900,000 signatures shouldn’t have been counted and that the organizers behind Amendment 4 have been fined $328,000. The Herald reported that the fine would be contested and that the campaign director for Yes on 4, Lauren Brenzel, denied any wrongdoing. The Herald also noted that the state had not challenged the signatures in January when it had the chance, along with the fact that county elections supervisors routinely toss out about 30% of petitions for various reasons.
