Millions of Americans are making important decisions on Election Day. From gubernatorial and mayoral races to decisions about abortion access and legalizing marijuana, voters will lay out their future. Voters in Ohio will weigh in on two very important issues: abortions rights and the legalization of recreational marijuana. A"Yes" vote would allow doctors to legally perform abortions up until"fetal viability," which is generally around 22 weeks of a pregnancy.
The two disagree on plenty of issues; however, they have found common ground in their support for the Second Amendment in a state that largely supports gun rights. Within that support, there are differences. Beshear supports so-called"red-flag laws," which are meant to prevent people who show signs they could harm themselves or others from getting guns. Cameron does not support the restrictions.
Heading into the election, Democrats hold a 22-18 advantage in the Virginia Senate. Meanwhile, Republicans have a 48-46 advantage in the House of Delegates. The battle for Virginia's General Assembly is seen as a key litmus test heading into 2024. Despite being an odd year, voters in Rhode Island's 1st Congressional District will decide who will represent them in the U.S. House of Representatives.
