- Five states approved increases in their minimum wage
- Arizona passed four measures targeting illegal immigrants, including one making English the state's official language.
- Idaho, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia (so far) joined Wisconsin approved bans on same sex marriages. Similar amendments have passed previously in all 20 states to consider them.
- In Michigan, CNN projects that voters will approve a proposition to bar the state government from using race and gender to determine who gets into college, who gets hired and who receives contracts.
- Florida, Georgia and South Carolina approved overwhelmingly,eminent-domain measures barring the government from taking private property for a private use.
- South Dakota voters could make their state the first to strip immunity from judges, exposing them to the possibility of lawsuits, fines and even jail for their actions on the bench.
