State ballot measure results: abortion, redistricting, voter ID and school sports

The Associated Press reported voters decided 145 ballot questions in more than three dozen states Tuesday.¹

All counts are unofficial, read Wednesday, Nov. 4. Results in parentheses and vote totals are Ballotpedia’s unless noted, and its pages show counts from different moments, so totals are not comparable across measures. Descriptions follow official text where cited, otherwise Ballotpedia. Florida’s measures are covered separately.

What the records do not show

Maryland’s was the only state count we could read. California’s results page did not load for us, NBC News’ results page refused our request, and pages from Arizona, Nebraska, South Dakota, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia failed or loaded without current figures, so we use no state or network status elsewhere. Ballotpedia’s pages mostly carry no update time and can lag well behind state counts: Newsmax’s Nebraska total is higher than Ballotpedia’s, and some measures’ totals here are hours old.²⁵²⁶

We could not open official text for measures in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Washington or West Virginia, or statements from each side; those descriptions rest on Ballotpedia. These counts are not final.
