LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) 鈥� Nebraska voters will chose between two to either expand abortion rights or limit them to the current 12-week ban 鈥� a development likely to drive more voters to the polls in a state that could see one of its five electoral votes up for grabs in the hotly contested presidential race.
Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen announced Friday that the rival initiatives each gathered enough signatures to get on the November ballot, making it the first state to carry competing abortion amendments on the same ballot since the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.
Nebraska also becomes the last of several states to put an abortion measure on the November ballot, including the swing states of Arizona and Nevada where abortion ballot measures could drive higher voter turnout. Others are Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana and 麻豆传媒AV Dakota. New York has a measure that supporters say will effectively guarantee access, though it doesn鈥檛 mention abortion specifically.
