On August 2, the last day of the Maine legislature, LD 31 was again defeated. It would have imposed a distribution requirement on statewide initiatives. Currently initiatives need a petition of 10% of the last gubernatorial vote. The bill would have said the petition needs the same requirement in each of the two U.S. House districts.
ALL GERRYMANDERS — ALL THE TIME —
1/2 OR LESS VOTES X 1/2 GERRYMANDER AREAS =
1/4 OR LESS CONTROL = OLIGARCHY.
All 50 state legislatures full of ANTI-Democracy oligarchs.
