While Democrats across the nation performed well during Tuesday’s midterm elections, their policy prescriptions didn’t appear to fare as well. In Arizona, for instance, voters approved a conservative ballot measure that’ll ban “transgender” students from using their preferred locker room and pronouns, according to NPR member radio station KJZZ. [snip] Arizona voters have PASSED Proposition 318, which bans transgender students from girls’ sports and sets who can use school locker rooms, bathrooms and showers by s*x at birth — The vote was 58.9% to 41.1%, and the law takes effect January 1. It blows my mind how 882,017 voted NO.. — American AF 🇺🇸 (@iAnonPatriot) November 5, 2026 The measure also passed despite Democratic lawmakers winning a “trifecta” of positions in the traditionally “red” but recently “purple” state. [snip] “Democrats’ last trifecta (control of governor’s office and both chambers of the Legislature) in Arizona was in 1966,” the station’s report continued. WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT…Arizona Democrats could win majorities in both chambers for the first time in 60 years.Katie Hobbs as governor, it will be Arizona’s first Democratic trifecta. https://t.co/mbZkB5g2Bx — Chicano Marine 🇲🇽🇺🇸💙 (@elchicanomarine) November 4, 2026 But according to Kyle Clark, a reporter for Denver, Colorado, news station KUSA, there may be a massive catch to voters electing Democratic lawmakers into office while also voting for conservative policy prescriptions. [snip] “Democrats in the state leg could weaken the rules” of the state’s new “transgender” bans now that they have power, he warned. Colorado ballot measures to restrict youth sports and medical care for trans kids are on track to pass. Protect Kids Colorado co-founder Kevin Lundberg described the measures as a way “to stop the transgender plague in Colorado.” Democrats in the state leg could weaken the rules. https://t.co/3TmRRAjHBh — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) November 5, 2026 In fact, some suspect this may happen in many other states as well, including the far-left liberal bastion of Washington State, where voters approved a measure to keep girls’ sports reserved for girls and boys’ sports for boys. [snip] It remains unclear whether the newly passed measures in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington will survive the states’ Democratic lawmakers, the majority of whom have voiced deep support for the “transgender” community.
