Ballot amendments are always fun.

There's only 7 ballot questions because Nevada does things a bit differently. They have to be petitioned, then they have to win in two different federal elections.

Oh. They can also get on the ballot from the legislature.

It also has to pass twice in separate federal elections. So some of these won't be voted on again until 2026.

"only" 7 ballot questions? here in MA we have 5, and that's a lot for one ballot

We're next to Califonia.

Though even California only has 11 this year.

WA had 4

Nebraska had 5 initiatives and a referendum, and frankly I don't remember us ever having nearly that many at once
Jaetopus

the fact that 2 of them are competing abortion initiatives is kind of ridic, though

You would have thought that 1 would be enough, but I suppose if they're both meant to amend the state constitution...

yeah, when the one to put the right to abortion into the state constitution started getting a lot of traction, the "protect women and children" group spun up an initiative to put the current 12-week limit into the constitution instead. and of course they're both worded weirdly on the actual ballot
Shard

At least Nevada's is just, "Yeah, we want to put the current law into the state constitution."
Shard
2024-10-24T20:10:57.000Z
And the opponents are like, "But it's already a law! Why bother?"
Shard
2024-10-24T20:11:18.000Z
Because it's a lot harder to change the state constitution than the law on the books, dumbass.

3 were brought on ("bought on" really) by one super wealthy cunt who didn't want to pay his taxes
