When Americans cast their ballots in this year's midterm elections, they'll not only be picking who represents them in Congress, but also weighing in on a range of topics that could change their state laws and constitutions.

Voters will weigh in on more than 140 ballot measures next month in 40 states. From abortion to voter ID to debates over transgender rights, the measures touch nearly every corner of the political debate. Republicans are counting on some of them to energize their base in a tough midterm environment. Liz Landers discussed the issues with Reid Wilson of Pluribus News.
