Tennessee voters approve all 3 constitutional amendments

Data: Ballotpedia; Chart: Axios Tennessee voters approved all three proposed constitutional amendments Tuesday, expanding judges' authority to deny bail, prohibiting state property taxes and strengthening crime victims' rights. By the numbers: Each measure won support from roughly two-thirds of voters or more. Amendment 1 (67.1% yes): Gives judges greater discretion to deny bail for defendants accused of crimes including second-degree murder and aggravated rape. A ThinkTennessee analysis found the change could affect up to 144 additional offenses. Amendment 2 (66.7% yes): Prohibits Tennessee from imposing a state property tax. The state doesn't currently levy one, and existing city and county property taxes are unaffected. Amendment 3 (76% yes): Expands constitutional protections for crime victims, including rights to participate in certain proceedings and receive information about offenders' sentences and release dates. The measure, known as Marsy's Law, attracted the strongest support of the three. The bottom line: All three measures also cleared Tennessee's requirement that an amendment receive more "yes" votes than half the total votes cast in the governor's race.

Did the Tennessee midterms complicate Marsha Blackburn’s voucher expansion plans?

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. In April, 95 Tennessee lawmakers voted in the House of Representatives on a bill to expand the state’s fledgling private school voucher program. It was an unusually tight vote in the legislature , where the Republican supermajority often votes along party lines. The measure passed by nine votes — with 52 Republicans in support and a coalition of 43 Democrats and Republicans opposed. This week, six of those 52 Republicans were voted out of office, defeated by Democrats. While the blue tsunami didn’t crash into Tennessee Tuesday night as it swept statewide midterm races elsewhere , Democratic gains could make it harder for Republicans to pass controversial policies like expanding the Education Freedom Scholarship program , which has historically split the party’s legislative caucus. If lawmakers voted along the same lines under the new party totals, the April voucher vote would have failed, 46 to 49. When the General Assembly returns to the state Capitol in January, Republicans will still hold a supermajority with
