Here's a recap of each amendment that was on Floridian ballots, whether they passed or failed and what weed and abortion laws are like in Florida.
Floridians rejected the proposal to enshrine abortion into the state Constitution after they learned it would open the floodgates for taxpayer-funded abortion "at any time" and "for any reason," one pro-life advocate said.
More than 6 million Florida voters, representing 57% of the vote, cast their ballot in favor of Amendment 4 on Election Day Tuesday. Yet, the abortion measure failed to pass despite 1.5 million more Floridians voting "yes" on the amendment rather than "no."
Former President Donald Trump easily won Florida, once a swing state, for a third consecutive time on Tuesday night.
The Florida Senate race was a highlight on the 2024 ballot, and Amendment 4 on abortion rights has drawn national attention.
Amendment 3 was not backed by at least 60% of Florida voters, meaning that recreational marijuana use will remain illegal in the state.
Democrats fell far short of their Election Day goals, while Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed victory over abortion and marijuana amendments.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. Voters will be faced with 6 constitutional amendment proposals on the ballot.
A strong across-the-board showing by Donald Trump helped propel the Republican former president to victory in Florida, once a preeminent swing state that has increasingly slipped out of Democrats’ grasp.
Here's which party is likely to control the House of Representatives in 2025 and how many of Florida’s House seats are filled by Republicans.
The defeat is a political victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, who had become the face of a well-funded opposition campaign.
(Reuters) - A proposal to amend Florida's state constitution to guarantee abortion rights fell short of the 60% vote threshold needed to pass on Tuesday, becoming the first such measure to fail since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to the procedure in 2022.
