Medicaid expansion has been winning all night in South Dakota.
Hard to imagine it will be the state to end the unbeaten winning streak of Medicaid expansion with voters in Republican states.
For those following the Medicaid expansion ballot initiative in South Dakota tonight (currently winning but its early), the biggest margin of victory was in Idaho where 61% voted yes in 2018.
The last two MedEx ballots in 2020 (OK 50.5% and MO 53%) were much closer.
This is huge: New Mexico voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that will pump an estimated $150 million annually into early childhood education. https://t.co/IwGHLmV4Af
