Maryland voters affirmed Tuesday night that undocumented immigrants should be allowed to attend public universities and pay in-state tuition, while Oklahomans declared that affirmative action should be barred in education and other public settings.

Opponents sought to overturn it via popular vote, but those efforts fell short at the ballot box.
