## Resource

In Missouri, we have a fun tradition called the initiative petition, where citizens actually get a say in how things are run. Naturally, the legislature hates that. This episode breaks down SJR 60 and the desperate legislative push to make changing the constitution harder than winning a literal lottery. We’re looking at the "concurrent majority" scheme—a fancy way of saying "if one rural district says no, the whole state loses." It’s a masterclass in voter suppression wrapped in the flag of "protecting the constitution."
