Ed Schafer Takes A Stand Against Measure 2: Protecting Voter Rights in North Dakota
Measure 2 would make it harder to pass constitutional amendments by increasing the number of required signatures and adding more steps to the voting process. The measure would limit each initiated measure to one subject, as determined by the Secretary of State. It would also increase the number of signatures needed to get a measure on the ballot and require that all petition signers provide their full residential address. If passed, constitutional measures would need to be approved in both a primary and a general election. Schafer explains why he opposes the measure, saying it restricts voters' ability to change the constitution. The episode dives into the details of the proposal and its potential impact on the future of North Dakota's legal and political landscape.
