The 2024 elections include a raft of ballot measures across every state. Voters will be asked to mark their preference on controversial topics such as abortion, school choice, the legalization of drugs, and much more. This Washington Examiner series, Direct Democracy, will take a forensic look at several of these items. Part 1 was on the abortion measures in 10 states. Part 2 is about minimum wage measures in four states.

Voters in four states will decide on whether to raise the minimum wage, votes that come after four years of historic inflation and economic discontent.
