Republican lawmakers across the country are trying to overrule voters
Interesting piece on how Republican governors and legislators nationwide are implementing new laws and are taking other actions to reverse and otherwise take control of voter-approved ballot measures they don't like.

The article calls it a crackdown on democracy. So true. The voter suppression laws are bad enough. Now, they're going after any majority-passed initiatives they oppose.
We are in big trouble.
