Upon and pushing back against an extreme measure to change our states constitution to remove protections that weve had enshrined in our constitution for so long is something that, you know, its a step too far. we have too many politicians who have been trying to take that step too far. >> so do you see this as a bellwether for the midterms and for democrats success as a whole? or is this just specifically an abortion rights in kansas vote? >> thats a really good question. i can tell you from a c...

These groups. take a listen to what they told me. >> if we lose the protection in kansas, we know whats coming. this will open up the path for the legislature to ban abortions, create restrictions that target abortion care. >> i want to see a future where kansans are involved in the discussion. where unelected judges dont decide for the rest of us the limits on abortion in our state. >> reporter: and this morning weve been talking to voters on both sides of this issue while they disagree about w...

No to abortion rights. a "no" vote means yes to abortion rights. its upside down world on this ballot and its not even as clear as i just made it. its really convoluted, so is this going to be a bellwether for what abortion rights means in the country? >> i dont know, for exactly that reason. first of all, referendums are often like that, confusing for voters, difficult for them to understand in a short window of time, for voters to understand the issues, so it will be a bellwether of something,...

Add up the democratic votes statewide and republican votes statewide. you compare that to the past presidential vote. the shift we see in the washington primary, look at this. look at the shift that you see nationally in november. its highly predictable what happens in november. so if you look here, look, republicans did well. then you see republicans do well. you see them do fwell. then the same thing here. democrats, democrats. >> now okay. this is a deep cut. i love it. because, you know, wel...
