Voters in Nebraska, Colorado, and Kentucky have rejected ballot initiatives that would have protected some forms of school choice, increased state funding for private schools, or both.

A ballot measure that was designed to enable state legislators to allocate public tax dollars to support students attending private or charter schools was resoundingly rejected by Kentucky voters on Election Day.
