Set a goal. Voters in 33 states have zero democracy. They elect their own predators.
Voters in 17 states have some democracy because they have the direct initiative, referendum and recall. They are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Washington city and District of Columbia.

also Massachusetts
In MA it’s indirect. After the voters have adopted a ballot proposition the legislature can amend or even kill it.
@wolf041 Initiatives in the states that have them have to comply with laws before they get on the ballot. As to after the voting, Ballotpedia.org says "The Arkansas State Legislature may not repeal or amend a successful initiative or referendum, except by a two-thirds supermajority vote."
See law: Arkansas Constitution, Article 5, Section 1
Ballotpedia.org has an error correcting process
@yvilletom aldo. Just re read thst... EVERYTHING passes by 2/3 super majority vote in the state legislature. Watching those c owns on PBS is repetitive. Anything any one of them brings up goes through. Because they want everyone else to vote on their crap. Its basically a one party legislature with only generally one outspoken voice .so regardless of what the people want. They get their way
? Article ?
I don’t understand your query.
@yvilletom I don't understand why you wouldn't understand. Article of Ballotpedia.
@neutralite technically should have said link
@neutralite Ballotpedia is not an online magazine, with articles written by identified authors.
@neutralite Ballotpedia dot org is a massive encyclopedia with hundreds of contributors and has newsletters, two of which I’ve been reading for years. I’ve learned my way through it. If you decide to study ballot measures, you’ll need to know how direct and indirect measures differ and whether they apply to statutes and/or amendments. Go for it.
@yvilletom "Encyclopedia" ... "Article"
