So let me get this straight: a ballot initiative becomes the law of the land if a deluded majority votes for it?

No bill, no debate, no final version, no bicameral legislative vote, no governor’s signature - just lots of media propaganda makes it law?

Scary......

Not sure about the other states, but the way it works in NV, if “they” obtain the required number of signatures on a “proposed” ballot initiative, the upcoming 2015 legislative must address the proposal. They can decline to inact it or they can inact it. If they say yes, it would be effective 10/15/2015 (I believe). If they say “no” it would be placed on the 2016 ballots and if passed would go into effect 1/5/2017(I believe). If I’m wrong on the dates, I’m sure someone will correct me. Based on what happened in WA and the amount of money “they” spent, I’m not real confident that pro 2nd folks in NV would be too happy after 11/2016. “They” managed to obtain more than twice the number of sigs required for the petition. Heck, “they” even flew folks in from out of state to canvas neighborhoods.
