    That is not the cross-tab though. Here is the data on cross-tabs:

    Exit polls for Midterm Election Results 2022 | CNN Politics

    In Pennsylvania, 37% thought abortions was the most important issue, and they broke 78%-20% for Fetterman over Oz.

    In Arizona, 32% thought abortion was the most important issue, and they broke 91%-9% for Kelly over Masters.

    In Georgia, 26% thought abortion was the most important issue, and they broke 77%-21% for Warnock over Walker.

    In North Carolina, 29% thought abortion was the most important issue, and the broke 78%-21% for Beasley over Budd.

    Abortion as the most important issue is one of the strongest predictors of a Democratic vote in this cycle.

    NC is a great example of something I said preciously. The flat out lying. Beasley lost in spite of it, but it was desperate lying. Thats how she fired up the abortion support here.

    I am leary of the use of no. Dozens seems safer. Some people make strange inexplicable decisions.

    Can you find me a fact check showing that what she said was untrue? I don't know what she said, but that seems like it might not be a factual concern but rather one of not liking the framing she used.

    Here is what I found: which seems to be that her allies accurately described the bill as one that would put Doctors in prison and did not have an exception for rape and incest, but with whether he wrote it or just was an initial sponsor of the bill.

    Fact check: What was Ted Budd's involvement in proposed abortion bill?

    Who would have thought that telling half the population you only have certain rights graciously granted to you by the other half would blow up in someone's face at the ballot box.

    In 2024 there needs to be an abortion rights measure on EVERY state ballot where that right isn't already protected. That will greatly counteract Republican voter suppression efforts.
