The state legislature is trying to make it harder for the people to have a say in their democracy. Vote “No!” Retain the right to amend the constitution, or else the bar will be set so high only the legislature will get to propose amendments!

That’s it. That’s the post. Drag your friends to the polls, too, while you’re at it.

    The vote yes signs I’ve seen suggest the idea is to outright make it impossible to modify the constitution in a bid to fend off the possibility of rebuilding abortion access or introducing new gun control efforts

    Funnily enough, some of the conservatives I know personally are planning on voting no out of fear that Issue 1 passing might backfire on them and activate the Dem voter base to the point they’d lose their majority in the state and a potentially useful tool to combat a theoretical Dem majority

      Oh, well at least everyone agrees as to the fundamental point of the ballot measure, that’s not always the case!
