Democrats Win:
~Maine
...Maine voters repealed a law requiring voters to enroll at least two days before an election.
The referendum was put on Tuesday's ballot through a 'people's veto' initiative after the Republican controlled
Legislature passed a law in June requiring voters to register at least two business days before an election is held.
Maine's tradition of allowing "same day" voter registrations began with a law passed in 1973."
~Arizona
Voters apparently recalled Arizona Republican State Senate President Russell Pearce, the author of the state's
controversial immigration law.
If the vote totals hold, Pearce becomes the first sitting Senate president in the nation and the first Arizona legislator
ever to lose a recall election. He would be required to step down immediately once the results become official.
~Mississippi
"Personhood" Amendment Defeated in Mississippi"
Mississippi voters overwhelmingly rejected a Republican ballot initiative to legally define "personhood" as beginning
at fertilization.
~Ohio
"Ohio's new collective bargaining law was defeated".
"In a political blow to GOP Gov. John Kasich, voters handily rejected the law, which would have limited the
bargaining abilities of 350,000 unionized public workers." |
