Reading it over and over, it becomes apparent that yes would make it illegal and not require the state to pay for it, but that's confusing language.

Earlier in the day, it looked like it would be illegal in a landslide but now it's 53.3% no and 46.7% yes, so it still might become illegal, but I'm wondering if the wording is misleading voters one way or the other.

Weird if abortion is kept legal because like 117 counties our of 120 went red.

There were predictions of a red wave but now it looks like it could go either way.

Stuff like that is often writing in intentionally confusing terms to skew things one way or another.  There wasn't anything like that on the ballot here in PA.  It's hard to poll on stuff like abortion because it seems like people are willing to privately vote one way and then openly discuss things another way.

It may be simply harder to poll these days because tensions between the parties are so high that more people want to keep stuff to themselves. In my neck of the woods a guy in Trump gear who had a handgun on his person had to be escorted out of a polling place in a church because he insisted he had a constitutional right to stay and monitor things, so that's always fun. 

The Warnock/Walker race seems destined for a runoff.  I have a buddy in GA who is ready to make time on December 6th for that.  Sounds like a pain.
