flag Republican-led states are restricting citizen-led ballot initiatives due to concerns over outside funding and fraud.

flag Republican lawmakers in conservative-led states are making it harder for citizen-led ballot initiatives to succeed, arguing that these measures are often fueled by outside money and are vulnerable to fraud. flag This year alone, at least 148 bills have been introduced to restrict such initiatives, up from 76 last year. flag For example, Missouri lawmakers overturned a citizen-led measure that guaranteed paid sick leave and cost-of-living wage increases, and proposed a new abortion referendum to repeal an existing one.
