Summary
Nebraska is heating up a debate over voter power: a group called Respect Nebraska Voters wants to make it nearly impossible for lawmakers to undo ballot measures, raising the bar from two-thirds to four-fifths supermajority. They argue that after voters approved paid sick leave, minimum wage, and medical cannabis, the legislature has repeatedly watered down or ignored those decisions — and it’s time voters’ voices carried more weight. The Secretary of State’s office is now reviewing petitions to see if this amendment will hit the November ballot, sparking a crucial conversation about who really controls the laws: the people or their elected representatives.
