    30 some states have voter sponsored ballot initiatives, most are constitutional amendments, a few are just statutory, I’ve never heard of recalling a legislature with that process, which takes over a year to make happen, from getting signatures from voters, getting those validated, having electoral commissions ok the vote, then waiting for the actual vote.

      the link I posted says 26 states have voter-initiated ballot measures, but 5 of those 26 only allow for constitutional amendments or vetoing statutes, not writing new statutes which I should have been more clear is what I was referring to.

        It appears you are correct, I had read 30 some, but all enshitified search is giving me is 26, as is now the case, all sources provided are citing the same statitstic it appears, the sources being machine written by and large.

        It islikely not incorrect in this case, just saying, search sucks now, I know it can work better, because it did. Google eats bags of diseased geriatric flacid dicks. It’s gross. Like, if you want to eat bags of dicks, they could do better. But I digress.
