From billionaire taxes to abortion rights, these ballot measures could have national impact
Ballotpedia says the measures could reshape taxes, abortion policy and voting rules in states from Tennessee to Michigan.
According to Ballotpedia, 145 state ballot measures will appear on this November's ballot, addressing significant issues ranging from taxes and abortion to transgender rights and voting requirements.
Florida voters weigh expanding property tax exemptions from $50,000 to $150,000, while California considers a billionaire tax and Colorado targets those earning more than $500,000.
Abortion rights measures appear in Idaho, Nevada, and Virginia, while Missouri decides on restrictions; Arizona, Nebraska, Colorado, and Washington address sex-based requirements for school athletic teams.
New voter identification requirements appear on the ballot in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina, and Ohio, expanding election rules voters will decide.
Policies approved in one state can become models for ballot campaigns and legislation elsewhere, even for residents who do not see these questions on their ballots.
