** Second ballot measure disqualified this year
------------------------------------------------------------
On Sept. 26, the Utah Supreme Court removed Amendment D, a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, from the Nov. 5 ballot. It was the second measure a state court has removed from the ballot this year.
The court ruled that the ballot language for Amendment D, which addressed legislative alterations of voter-approved initiatives, was misleading, and publication deadlines were missed.

** Right-to-abortion ballot measure PACs reported 10 times more in contributions than opposition campaigns in 2024 so far
------------------------------------------------------------
In Wednesday’s Brew we took a look at campaign finance and the single-year record 11 abortion-related ballot measures.
Eleven Political Action Committees (PACs) describe themselves as pro-choice or pro-reproductive rights (hereafter, pro-choice campaigns), and 17 as pro-life (hereafter, pro-life campaigns).
Per the latest campaign finance reports, the pro-choice PACs raised $111.7 million and spent $69.1 million, while pro-life PACs raised $10.4 million and spent $4.93 million. In total, the pro-choice PACs raised 10.7 times more than pro-life PACs while reporting 14 times more in expenditures.
