a proposed constitutional amendment that would have protected abortion access in Florida failed Tuesday. Amendment 4, backed by a coalition of groups supporting abortion access, received about 57% of the vote, short of the necessary 60% to pass.

More than 6 million Florida voters, representing 57% of the vote, cast their ballot in favor of Amendment 4 on Election Day Tuesday. Yet, the abortion measure failed to pass despite 1.5 million more Floridians voting "yes" on the amendment rather than "no."
