Trump and Harris paths to 2024 win may rest on Arizona ballot measures - Washington Examiner

Arizona voters will make their voices heard on ballot measures on immigration and abortion rights.

One initiative would guarantee abortion rights in the wake of controversy over an 1864 law banning most abortions in the state.

Another proposition would empower law enforcement to crack down on people who are in state illegally.

Republicans in Arizona believe that images of migrants flooding across the border will still resonate with voters.

Arizona voters will be able to vote on a ballot measure that would create a “fundamental right” to abortion until fetal viability at about the 24th week of pregnancy.

“In Arizona , people feel the immigration problem maybe more profoundly than in the interior states,” Christine Jones , an attorney and a former Republican candidate, said not focusing on immigration for a candidate running statewide would be political malpractice.

Vice President Harris urges state voters to support a referendum to safeguard abortion rights.

Abortion is not only a big motivator for women, it's also a top voting concern for young women.
