How tomorrow’s elections could show the political power behind abortion rights.
Read more:
On Tuesday, voters across the country will head to the polls for Election Day. And while the elections – and the issues on the ballots – cover a lot of ground, there’s one big theme running through the elections: abortion.
In a state such as Ohio, abortion is explicitly on the ballot. Ohio voters will determine abortion access on a ballot measure called “Issue One.” If it passes, the measure would guarantee abortion access up to the point of fetal viability.
But for other states, such as Virginia and Kentucky, the topic of abortion rights is the undercurrent of their elections.
The Post’s campaign reporter Hannah Knowles explains how Tuesday’s elections are being animated by abortion-related races, and whether the results of the elections can be used as a litmus test for the coming fight over abortion in the 2024 presidential race.
Correction: A previous version of this episode description misstated what election is taking place in Virginia. The description has been updated to remove the error.
