There are still some serious problems here though.

First, there are many voters who will shoot down anti-abortion measures in referendum like Kansas's, but will still gladly vote for Republican candidates on a multitude of other issues. The backlash undoubtedly helps Democrats, but I question as to just how deep that's going to go.

Second, a lot of the fundamentals still favor Republicans in the midterms. Inflation and economic worries are hurting Biden and Democrats, not to mention party that still managed to convince 45% of Americans to vote for Trump in 2020 despite- well, everything - has a very High floor of support.

Third, even regarding abortion rights themselves, there are many states which I believe either don't have the option of placing referendum on the ballot to protect abortion rights or other issues, and other states such as Florida where the requirements such as a 60% supermajority of support are quite daunting.

Point three, Wisconsin is screwed. We have a ban from the 1800s, Republicans in charge and no recourse.

Gonna need to flip the state Supreme Court next year.
