Florida voters reject abortion rights and marijuana legalization measures

news.yahoo.com — November 6, 2024 at 04:01 AM UTC

Florida voters have rejected ballot measures aimed at protecting abortion rights and legalizing recreational marijuana. This outcome strengthens Republican Governor Ron DeSantis's influence and reinforces Florida's conservative stance. Despite majority support for both measures, they failed to meet the required 60% approval threshold. DeSantis campaigned against the initiatives, arguing they were flawed and would have lasting impacts if passed. The abortion measure sought to limit restrictions on the procedure, while the marijuana initiative would have allowed adults to possess small amounts. Florida is among the first states to reject abortion rights in a ballot since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
