      Or if your state legislature is run by the GOP and a ballot measure they don’t like gets voted in by the people, they can just change the law or ignore it completely. See congressional maps and abortion in Ohio, Abortion in Kansas, medical marijuana in FL etc.

      As someone from CA, I didn’t realize citizen-induced measures isn’t widespread lol.

      Californian here. I generally dislike all our referendums because any rich asshole can pay people to stand outside of grocery stores for months to collect enough signatures to get whatever awful thing they want on the ballot. Prop 8 you may recall from 2008 was a pernicious piece of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that recieved a lot of out-of-state support and passed. Another one from I believe ’22 ensured that Uber and Lyft drivers can’t be considered employees so they get screwed.

      Our legislature would not have passed either of these bills. We elect our legislators to represent us. But here comes election year propaganda to sway enough morons so the rich, hateful oligarchs who really run this state can have their way. It drives me crazy.

      This may have been useful information BEFORE you installed a dictatorship.

      Nice job BTW. SMH

      Citizen-initiated ballot measures seem good at first glance, but they’re actually terrible. At least in the way California implemented them..

      Is it universally the case that „repeal“ is only valid within a certain window after passage? My understanding of the WA process is if it’s recent, it’s a referendum, whereas if it’s older, it’s just an initiative to change the law to go the other way.

      Referendums always seem to confuse people because being *for* the referendum means being *against* the law in question

      Maine doesn’t require legislative approval just that it allows the legislature to approve before its sent on ballots

      I wish we had them in PA.

      We’d have a higher minimum wage than $7.25 and legal weed if we had them.

      I’m actually proud of Ohio here. Ohio seems to do better at voting directly on policy than voting for politicians.

      Pretty sure Maine has had two citizens initiatives tossed out in court in the last five years so I have no idea how binding they actually are

      If they have the star next to the name they might as well be red. Having to get the legislatures approval kinda defeats the whole purpose of citizen ballot measures.
