Question? What are we to do about this? We can’t sit and watch and say, “well the economy sucks.” It does. The type that voted in Kansas will vote in Kentucky, Montana and Michigan. I figure Vermont and California are goner anyway. It’s not that the question is there, but it could affect the races. Kansas put their question on the ballot because they thought nobody votes and colleges were out of session except for a few summer courses. The voting equaled a presidential year. I don’t see much worry which is not good. Michigan easily could be our this year. That Governor sucks. But now that every Karen is going to vote, the election got very difficult. Kansas also had 30 percent republicans who voted for the amendment. I’m sure they will in these states as well if not more. I know we’re mostly positive around here thinking that voters will do the right thing. I do not share that right now.

That is exactly why their side puts these things on the ballot.

Looks like abortion may well be more of a motivator in November than anticipated.

On the ballot for the voter’s to decide how they want to run their state.

Convince your fellow citizens on the issues.

That is as it should be.

The vote in Kansas involved massive fraud. The Dems have their game down, and if ANY no-questions widespread ballot by mail is allowed, you can be assured the 100 “voters” are registered at a single address, as has been discovered in other conservative states.

They’ll simple do this in other states, and nothing will be done about it.

Gretchen Whitmer will easily win re-election in Michigan.

If there’re enough voters considering unlimited abortion rights more important than our rapidly collapsing standard of living, chaos overseas, etc. I’m not really sure there is anything that can be done than just allow things to take their course.

“Kentucky state court of appeals has reinstated the state’s so-called “trigger law” banning abortion as well as a separate law banning the procedure after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, siding with Attorney General Daniel Cameron and allowing the laws to temporarily be enforced while the case proceeds in the courts.”

Of those states only Kentucky has a senate race, Rand Paul who I assume even with a big turnout will still hold the Senate.

So I guess if Abortion is to be on the ballot it’s better now than 2024 though 2023 would be nicer.

It would have been hard to unseat the Democrat governors in Michigan and New York as is, now it will be next to impossible

Wasn’t even close to Presidential general election turnout.

1,372,303 voted in 2020 Presidential race
1,055,566 voted in 2018 in the Governor’s race.
1,197,570 voted in 2016 Presidential race

908,932 voted on the Amendment.

Why lie?

“Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government...”

Is this not “direct democracy?” Would the Founders approve? Does this follow the spirit of the Constitution? Not the specific issue (abortion), but why have a legislative branch if mobs can just vote on every issue?

(I realize SCOTUS basically decided in Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Oregon
[1912] that it was not up to them to decide such issues...)

Looks like Dems ARE using this to gain votes...so we have to beat them at their own game. They're so damn good at getting out the vote.

Get out and vote...in person if you can so your vote doesn't "disappear".

What was the actual wording on the ballot. I find many of questions almost contradicting themselves.

I think it might have been a mistake for Kansas to put this in a primary election instead of the general election in November.

Perhaps, yes I’m guessing, there were many slam-dunk Republican primary races and so the Republican turnout was very low which left the decision for Democrat primary voters.
