City Journal(@CityJournal):On November 3, Nebraska banned men in women's sports. Wisconsin passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting affirmative action. California voters rejected the billionaire tax. Tennessee passed a constitutional prohibition on a state property tax. Ballot measures increasing fentanyl penalties, establishing sex-based eligibility for school and college sports, and prohibiting specified gender-transition surgeries for minors are leading in Colorado. The Republican Party may have sustained massive midterm losses, but statewide ballot initiatives tell a different story. Conservative policies still resonate, @Sean_Speer writes, even as voters reject the Trump administration.
