"To prevent Democratic attempts to circumvent conservative state legislatures, Republican lawmakers have sought to restrict ballot initiatives across the country." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/08/ohio-issue-1-special-election-abortion/674923/
nostr:npub1tf489l2mm4jgjxs5s9anxfx40vt0ptt99ls8yfs00t3t8vjkjntq4cnzuj Madison warned us against Issue One: the GOP plan to replace a 50.1% majority with 60% to amend the Ohio constitution.
If approved, "it would be no longer the majority that would rule; the power would be transferred to the minority” when it comes to passing laws or other measures, he said in Federalist 58.
Worse, Issue One + GOP gerrymandering together will put bad legislators and bad policies out of reach of the voting majority.
Issue One is tyranny of the minority in action.
