About campaign finance links. When we could find reports for every candidate in a race, each card gets a "Campaign finance" link. When we could not find them for everyone, we leave those links off so no one is singled out.

Medicaid expansion and federal funding
FailedYes 44.2% · No 55.8%
In 2022, voters added Medicaid coverage for adults 18 to 64 with low incomes. Today the federal government pays 90% of that cost.
A yes voteIf federal funding for the expansion ever drops below 90%, the expansion ends. Medicaid goes back to covering low-income children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and the elderly.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. The expansion stays in place whatever share the federal government pays.

Citizenship and voting
PassedYes 61.5% · No 38.5%
The state constitution already lists U.S. citizenship as a requirement to vote in state elections.
A yes voteAdds people who are not U.S. citizens to the constitution's list of people who cannot vote. This spells out a rule the constitution already has.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. U.S. citizenship is still required to vote.

PassedYes 60.9% · No 39.1%

A yes voteThat money goes into a trust fund in the constitution. Part of its interest and income goes into the state budget each year. The Legislature sets the amount in a way that lets the fund grow.
A no voteThe constitution stays as it is. No constitutional trust fund is created.
