MIAMI - Florida's six-week abortion ban will remain law after voters rejected Amendment 4, a measure that would have enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution. The amendment failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, garnering only 57% of the vote.

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."

Florida's proposed constitutional amendment to guarantee abortion access failed, even though more than half the voters approved it. Why?
