Arizona voters approve Republican measures to restrict ballot initiatives

Two measures get go-ahead from voters but bid to institute stricter voter ID requirements fails

Two Republican ballot measures that will restrict how citizens can get their own priorities on the ballot in the future were approved by voters in Arizona, while one measure to institute stricter voter ID requirements failed.

The mixed messages sent by voters on these measures aligned with the state's increasingly purple, swing-state style, where candidates and proposals that win come from both sides of the aisle.
