Idaho Rep. Bruce Skaug proposes raising the voting threshold for statewide ballot initiatives to 60%.

Idaho Rep. Bruce Skaug has introduced a bill to raise the voting threshold for statewide ballot initiatives from 50% to 60%. Supporters say it will fix what they call a "broken" initiative process, while critics argue it could restrict citizen rights and block past successful initiatives. The bill has 11 co-sponsors and was unanimously passed by the House State Affairs Committee, though it faces opposition from those who believe it would make it harder for citizens to influence legislation.
