    The petitioners would need to collect signatures from registered voters equal to at least 10% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election.

    I really hate that this is the standard. It means that the more votes we cast for governor, the less power we have to enact a referendum.

      That’s how the establishment parties want it, because it entrenches their power while removing legal avenues for citizens to make change.

      • But this also make it harder for extremist groups do pass their measures.

        Like some could try it with Anti-Abortion measures.

        Or look at California’s Gubernatorial Recall shenanigans.
