Any practical advice is welcome.

Edit: After some research, the path seems to be basically this:

  1. Get state residents to contact their delegates asking them to draft and/or support a constitutional amendment that gives citizens power to submit ballot initiatives (that’s what we do not currently have in our state constitution).
  2. The legislature has to pass it by 2/3 in order for it to appear on the ballot (governor does not need to sign it for it to appear on the ballot)
  3. A simple majority of voters (> 50%) would have to vote “yes” on the proposed amendment on election day.

Sounds easy enough, but the last 4 ballot initiatives (all legislatively sponsored) were basically power grabs (thankfully none of them passed). Still, going to see if I can maybe get the ball rolling and channel my jealousy of other states into something productive.

    I promise you, if there is one thing you can say about Trump voters, it is that they are very easily fooled. If you can stomach using the right buzzwords, you can get them to support literally anything. Hell, they’re currently supporting adult men wearing diapers.
