Referendum

With a record of 0-31 in marriage initiatives, now may be a good opportunity to review our complicity in a process that doles out or strips away basic rights by majority vote.

I think as people continue to see so much of politics as usual in this town -- partisan bickering and big money buying votes -- they are increasingly likely to vote against whatever represents the old politics for them.

Only by implementing solutions to the problems that exist will states be able to provide people with a ballot measure process that works for voters instead of against them.

In the last six months alone, we have begun to see the rise of the electronic electorate and with it a real prospect for the growth of Referendum politics.
