It’s already got 100k more signatures than it needed to make the ballot. It will be voted on in November. Should probably still sign if you haven’t already in case the GOP shitheads start trying to challenge the signatures. Though that’s a lot of signatures they’d need to invalidate.

Excellent, this may be the one thing worth voting for this November
You…don’t think there might be another important election in November?
