The Star Tribune provides us with some takeaways from Election Night 2024 in Minnesota, including its support of Democrats Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, high statewide voter turnout, the state’s first all-women majority heading to Congress, and Senator Amy Klobuchar’s landslide 4th term win.

In every state where it was on the ballot on Tuesday, protecting abortion care received more votes than Vice President Kamala Harris. This was true regardless of whether the state ultimately went for Harris or for President-elect Donald Trump, and even in the three out of 10 states in which the abortion-related measure did not pass.

Voters in seven states approved measures that would uphold or expand abortion rights: Arizona, Colorado, New York, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, and Nevada. Similar measures fell short in Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska; the latter had two opposing abortion-related ballot measures: one to establish a right to abortion before viability, which failed, and one to ban abortion after the first-trimester, which passed.

Despite celebrating the passing of abortion-related ballot initiatives in seven states, abortion rights advocates warn that a second Donald Trump presidency puts nationwide access to abortion care in danger.

"An already harmful abortion access crisis will likely get worse," Kelly Baden, the vice president of policy at the Guttmacher Institute, told ABC News.

"The 13 states that currently ban abortion -- there are real consequences to that including death. Women are dying from these abortion bans," Baden said.

Trump may have persuaded voters that there won't be a federal abortion ban, but experts warn nationwide access could be at risk.

"I don't think that people know that a federal abortion ban would preempt state constitutional protection. There could also be this sense that, 'I'm voting yes on this amendment, and that means my state is fine,'" Elisabeth Smith, the director of state policy at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told ABC News.

"A federal abortion ban -- if the U.S. Supreme Court allowed it to take effect -- would preempt the policy of a state where abortion is legal and accessible," Smith said. "We don't yet know which party controls the House [of Representatives], but that is a possibility."
