Mixed results for abortion measures
ABC News has made a few new projections in abortion-related ballot measure campaigns. First, Montana's Initiative 128, which sought to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, passed, 57% to 43%. However, Amendment G in South Dakota, which would have done the same thing, failed by a wide margin, 61% to 39%.
In addition, Nebraska's Initiative 434, to ban abortion after the first trimester, has passed 55% to 45%. A competing measure, Initiative 439, which would have protected abortion rights, is currently trailing 51% to 49%.
Overall, abortion-rights ballot measures have done pretty well tonight; seven of them passed. But it's not the perfect record that such measures enjoyed in 2022 and 2023.

Senate Democrats still have a shot at winning Michigan and Wisconsin
Republicans will win the Senate, but by how much remains to be seen. Two seats where the GOP currently leads are Michigan and Wisconsin, but in each Democrats might actually be able to win once all the votes are counted. In Michigan, Slotkin has virtually caught up to Rogers in the vote count, and there are many thousands of votes left in Wayne and Kalamazoo counties, so she's favored to win at this point. In Wisconsin, Hovde has just under a 2-point lead, but Baldwin has a path to erasing it, mainly because there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 120,000 absentee votes left in Milwaukee. If those break roughly 80-20% for Baldwin, she might have a path to overcoming Hovde's roughly 50,000-vote lead. It's going to be close one way or the other.
