Meanwhile, Missouri voters rejected a pair of unique ballot measures backed by the Republican-led Legislature. One defeated measure would have required all citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to pass in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts instead of by a simple statewide majority — a high standard used by no other state. The other measure would have directed lawmakers to repeal the state’s individual income tax while authorizing a state sales tax expansion.

    Oh hey, look at that. I thought it was just my state looking to get rid of state initiatives. I guess the GOP and DNC have something in common after all.

      Hey, it’s the anti-washington account that has to shit on anything Washington does, which has gone as far as saying that blue states like WA deserved what was coming to them with ICE because of gun control.

      I see you’ve now increased the amount of bullshit you say about WA, as you used to only shit on WA in related posts. Nice!

      You think rejecting a poison pill amendment to voter initiatives is a bad thing? Dude, that’s kinda weird. Like, did you not understand the text kinda weird, especially cause you’re acting like it says the opposite of what it says (requiring every individual district to approve a ballot measure is just a fancy way to get land to vote)
