Voters in Kansas on Tuesday will decide whether to eliminate a state constitutional right to abortion
-- freeing lawmakers there to ban or severely restrict abortion access. It marks the first time in nearly half a century that abortion rights will be put to a popular vote -- and the first statewide vote on the subject since Roe v. Wade was overturned, asThe vote has potential consequences for millions of women in Kansas and in nearby states that have already banned abortion procedures.
One bottom line stands for both sides: If abortion is a vote-moving issue, there won't be a better chance for a long while to show that votes are indeed moving. In the race for governor, Pence and Republican incumbent Doug Ducey are putting their political might behind Karrin Taylor Robson opposite the Trump-endorsed Lake. And though she has raised concerns about "election integrity," Robson hasn't gone as far as Lake.
In Arizona, where Trump narrowly lost in 2020, there have been sustained efforts to audit the outcome of the last presidential election. Tuesday's GOP primaries will provide an indication of the direction of the party in the state. Trump, on Monday morning, had teased a recommendation in the race on his social media platform Truth Social. But observers didn't expect this.
