Republican lawmakers are trying myriad tactics to make it harder for citizens to put constitutional amendments to a public vote.
Voters in as many as nine states could sidestep legislators and directly decide whether to expand access to abortion through citizen-led ballot initiatives.
Critics say legislators’ attempts to impose new restrictions subvert one of the purest forms of direct democracy available to citizens.
Ballot measures typically don’t boost voter turnout in presidential election years like they do in midterms and special elections.
Missourians for Constitutional Freedom campaign turned in more than twice the likely number of signatures needed for its measure to qualify for Missouri ’s ballot in November .
In 2023 , ballot initiatives in eight states attracted more than $205 million in donations, a nonprofit says.
Clapman , with the Brennan Center , said she expects lawmakers to continue pushing back against ballot measures.
"It's not a fight that’s going to go away even if initiatives pass," she said.
The Brennan Center says lawmakers will continue to push back against initiatives.
