Voters in North Carolina threw out at least five incumbent Republican members of Congress in this week's election—while also approving ballot measures to limit property tax increases and cut the state's highest income tax rate from 7 percent to 3.5 percent.
In Arizona (like in Colorado and Washington), voters passed new restrictions on transgender athletes' ability to participate in girls' and women's sports—even as Democrats appear to be on track to fully control the state government there for the first time since the 1960s.
