“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58

In the 2026 midterm elections, Americans voted on more than just Republican and Democratic candidates. Voters across the nation also decided important ballot initiatives, passing several good ones and rejecting several bad ones.
One of the good ballot initiatives that passed was Question 3 in Wisconsin, which will effectively ban DEI in the state constitution. A number of Save Women’s Sports ballot initiatives passed as well like Proposition 318 in Arizona which will force all schools and athletic associations in the state to restrict sports participation and access to private spaces based on sex. Nebraska approved a similar ballot initiative with Initiative 442, which will require sports to be designated by sex and not gender identity.
Even Colorado and Washington passed ballot initiatives protecting against radical LGBTQ policies. Propositions 134 and 135 passed in Colorado, which will respectively require participation in sports according to sex and will ban sex-rejection surgeries for minors. Initiative 638, which will require restrictions on transgender participation in female sports, passed in Washington.
These results are surprising because both are deep blue states, especially Colorado. The majority of recent cases brought to the Supreme Court involving discrimination against Christians in favor of LGBTQ ideology have come from Colorado. The Supreme Court just heard oral arguments on November 3rd regarding another case from Colorado where Christians are being discriminated against by the state due to its acceptance of LGBTQ ideology. The passing of Propositions 134 and 135 seems to show a disconnect between the state and its voters.
Along with good ballot initiatives that passed, there were some bad ones that failed. Idaho’s Proposition 1, which would have protected abortion until fetal viability, thankfully failed. In Nebraska, Initiatives 440 and 441 also failed. Initiative 440 would have legalized online sports gambling, and Initiative 441 would have created a regulatory framework and tax structure for mobile sports wagering.
Despite the overall election results nationwide, these ballot initiatives show us that several God-honoring, common-sense issues where supported by voters this election.
LET US PRAY…
Father, we praise You for the good ballot initiatives that passed and the bad ones that failed. Lord, empower us to continually and faithfully work to advocate for righteousness in our state and nation. Father, help us to remember that laboring for You is never in vain. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
