Systematic attempts

They’re trying to confuse voters and slip through anti-democratic policies.

Our team is tracking critical ballot initiatives in half a dozen states right now, but we want to give you an update about two that will be before voters this November: - In Arizona, voters will be deciding on a measure that would amend the state constitution to require signatures for ballot initiatives to be gathered from each legislative district as opposed to the current requirement of signatures from 15 percent of registered voters from the state at-large. - In North Dakota, voters will be deciding a measure that would institute a single subject requirement on ballot initiatives, increase the statewide signature gathering requirement to 5 percent from 4 percent of voters, and require approval in a primary and general election for any proposal that Yes, the details of these proposals are a bit confusing, because that’s exactly what the opposition wants — to confuse voters. But let’s be clear: When you unpack these proposals, they’re direct efforts to make it harder for citizens to engage in direct democracy and hold politicians accountable.

Extreme partisan forces have been doing everything they can to hold on to power for decades — these underhanded ballot initiatives are a dangerous new trend. And yes, sometimes they succeed. They’re counting on us to be caught off guard and resting on our laurels. That won’t happen this year.
