Re: What's on your ballot?
In ND we have Measure 1 on the ballot. It's an ethics in government initiative. However, in my mind it contains an unethical portion.
As written, Measure 1 has a supremacy clause making it more powerful than even the ND State Constitution.
The measure has good and reasonable merit; however, that supremacy clause is a non-starter with me.
I'd look at it with the supremacy clause removed.
With the supremacy clause it's a flat "NO".The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: What's on your ballot?
Also in ND we have Measure 3: recreational marijuana.
A medical marijuana measure passed recently but it was so poorly written the Legislature couldn't implement it without significant changes so there is that history.
But, knowing the conservative nature in ND, I see the recreational marijuana measure going up in smoke.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: What's on your ballot?
Recreational marijuana treated like alcohol
Independent commission to draw districts
Expanded voting, I.e. Same day registration, no reason absentee, straight ticket voting and automatic registration when you register for a state ID. Currently you have to opt in, this would make it opt out.
Given how blue the election is supposed to be, all three should pass. Biggest issue is literally going to be making sure people flip over their ballot and fill out more than just marijuana.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

The commission and the changes to voting laws are more important though.

Re: What's on your ballot?
Alaska has one ballot measure: A salmon habitat protection measure.
There’s a huge campaign against it, try to guess why:
Stand for Alaska is leading the campaign in opposition to Ballot Measure 1. The Stand for Alaska-Vote No on 1 committee reported a total of $9.01 million in contributions. The top donors included BP Exploration Inc. Alaska, Conoco Phillips, Hecla Mining Company, Kinross Fort Knox, Sumitomo Metal Mining Pogo, Pebble Limited Partnership, and Donlin Gold.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Big race is governor - incumbent John Hickenlooper (D) is termed out. Walker Stapleton (R) vs. Jared Polis (D.)
6th Congressional district is a hot race too - incumbent Mike Coffman (R) being challenged by Jason Crow (D.)
SecState and Treasurer also up.
Beyond that, ballot measures including independent state/Congressional redistricting commissions, limitations on location for fracking, campaign finance limitations, and your standard smorgasbord of transportation and education levies.Michigan Tech Huskies Pep Band: There's No Use Trying To Talk.
