The Republican Party War on Democracy continues.
Here is the story from Missouri Independent.
If the Missouri House passes the bill, it will still need a majority vote from The Show Me State’s voters in November 2024 to amend the Missouri Constitution.
The story also states that the Missouri House has passed a bill making it harder to circulate citizen initiative petitions in Missouri. Petition circulators would have to be US citizens, Missouri residents for at least 30 days prior to the start of the petitioning period, and circulator pay per signature would be banned.
On February 19, a Wyoming group that wanted to qualify an initiative asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their appeal against the law that prohibits First Amendment activity within 300 feet of a polling place entrance. Frank v Lee, 23-901. Here is the cert petition.
On February 7, U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Laphonza Butler (D-Cal.) introduced S.3750, which requires states to draw U.S. House districts that are not biased for or against any political party. Here is the bill’s text.
On February 21, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sued the Maine Secretary of State for revoking permission for his petitioners to work at the polls on March 5, when Maine holds its presidential primary. Team Kennedy v Bellows, 1:24cv-52. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge John Woodcock, Bush Jr appointee.
Maine traditionally allows petitioners at the polls, and as recently as November 2023, allowed presidential primary candidates to petition at the polls. Furthermore, the Kennedy petitioners had earlier been told they could petition at the polls.
