One of the dumber parts of this is that, prior to Roe vs Wade being overturned, SD had an abortion ban on the ballot twice since (guessing here) 2006 and voters voted it down both times. Roe v Wade gets overturned and our elected officials immediately enact they’re own rules and now we have to fight for our rights back. I hate that our state still votes for Kristi and others like her, but hopefully we can get a little win bank this year.
I can’t remember the specifics well enough to state anything as fact, I’m pretty sure we had something on campaign finance that disappeared after voter approval, and I know we had a ballot initiative on minimum wage that they reworked after the fact into something better than many places, but not quite what was voted on. Marijuana felt like they straight manipulated rules and it disappeared with their reasoning being that it technically was more than one rule at once.
Even if my poor explanations aren’t great, I can state as a fact that our voter pool seems to not care at all that their elected officials don’t give two shits about their interests. I know plenty actually do, but our averages voter just looks for the R
I have a semi rule with trends like this (cause I did get tired of the jeans already). I watch the usernames and if I see is consistently one out two posters I’ll just block them, but in this scenario it’s a whole bunch so I just say, I must be getting old and move on lol
