Abortion rights amendment is projected to be defeated in Florida

A measure that would have enshrined protections for abortion rights in Florida's state constitution failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, ABC News projects.

Florida has a six-week abortion ban in effect, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. If it had been approved, the provision would have allowed abortions to resume in a state that was a key access point for abortion care for women across the South before the state's ban went into effect in April.

The initiative would have amended the state's constitution to add protections for abortion, outlawing legislation that prohibits, penalizes, delays or restricts abortion care before viability or when necessary to protect a patient's health.

This is the first abortion-related ballot initiative to fail since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Voters in six states -- California, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, Michigan and Vermont -- already upheld abortion rights through ballot initiatives in the 2022 midterm elections.

At least 14 states have ceased nearly all abortion services since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. In total, 21 states have restrictions on abortion in effect.

Fifty-seven percent of voters approved the ballot initiative, three percentage points short of passing.

Florida voted down the initiative even as voters there favor legal abortion by 65%. Among supporters of legal abortion, 14% voted against the amendment, according to preliminary exit poll results.

Georgia trends Trump, Harris will need help from big vote bases

With about two-thirds of Georgia's expected vote reporting, Trump leads by 6 points, 53% to 47%. Among the counties where at least 90% of the expected vote has reported (53 of the state's 159 counties), Trump is doing about 3 points better in margin than he did in 2020 against Biden. In a state Biden carried by just 0.24 points, a statewide trend like that across all counties would surely mean victory for Trump.

Harris' hopes lie in gaining votes in some of the big Atlanta-area counties that were pivotal to Biden's win, as none of those has reported more than about three-fourths of the expected vote yet (and Gwinnett County has reported only 16% of its expected vote). The good news for her is that she's running ahead of Biden in some of those places; the bad news is that some of those counties still have more GOP-leaning Election Day votes to process.

Trump projected to pick up four more states -- including Texas

ABC News is projecting that Trump is expecting to win North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming -- all reliably red states. With this, the former president will pick up the four state's combined 49 electoral votes.

With about 57% of the expected vote in for the Lone Star State, Trump currently leads Harris by 8 percentage points (53% to 45%). If this trend continues, Harris will have underperformed Biden's 2020 margin. That year, Biden lost by about 5 percentage points -- one of the closest Texas races for the White House in the last quarter century. In 2016, Trump carried the state by 9 percentage points over Hillary Clinton.
