I dunno if this is a hot take but I think ballot measures are stupid. It shouldn't be the average citizen's job to understand government policy, that's why we live in a *representative* democracy.
We literally hire people to do this job.
That said, ballot measures kinda slap in red states with shitty legislatures.
