Virginia and Maryland voters pass amendments on abortion, same-sex marriage and redistricting: AP

Virginia voters have approved all three proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot, enshrining the right to abortion in the state constitution, repealing an outdated ban on same-sex marriage, and restoring voting and civil rights to convicted felons upon completing their prison sentences. The historic results follow similar reproductive rights protections in Maryland, alongside heated debate over midterm redistricting and local ballot initiatives across the region.
