Election Day 2023: Voters to Offer Clues on Abortion Politics and 2024 in Off-Year Election

www.nytimes.com Election Day 2023: Voters to Offer Clues on Abortion Politics and 2024 in Off-Year Election

Key contests and ballot questions are being decided in Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and Mississippi. Our reporters are at the polls.

It's actually a really big election year for us in Ohio. We're voting on legalizing abortion and weed in the state, which is insane for an "off-year" election. What's even more crazy is that both look likely to pass.

We voted at 10 am, and this is the first year I've seen so many young women at our location. There's been so much advocacy for issue one that I'm very hopeful.
Im in a red state that was never going to let medical marijuana pass, it's been great fun seeing dispensaries on every corner since it did. You've got this, Ohio.
- Oklahoma?
  
  Afraid so.
I really hope 1 and 2 both pass. I always vote on election day because I like the ceremony of it. Unfortunately I got so sick yesterday into today that I can't even stand for more than a couple minutes without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. Maybe I'll start early voting now.
