Summary
Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio approved voter-ID ballot measures, with support ranging from 59.6% to 65.3%, extending or entrenching ID rules despite stalled federal action.
California moved the other way: voters rejected a voter-ID constitutional amendment 60.5% to 39.4% and also defeated a 5% tax on billionaires, 52.4% to 47.5%.
Idaho voters approved making English the state's official language by constitutional amendment, 63.1% to 36.8%, even though state law had already recognized English since 2007.
That same state rejected Proposition 1, which would have created abortion rights up to fetal viability, by a 55.9% to 44.0% margin.
The mixed ballot results unfolded beneath a Democratic midterm sweep, highlighting how state voters split across election rules, cultural policy, abortion and taxation.
