    Assuming they pass through the red tape and get the required 60,000 verified signatures, I’m going to predict two things:

    1. The ballot initiative passes
    2. The legislature tries to knee-cap it like Ohio tried after the marijuana and abortion initiatives passed.

      I believe that you are correct on both points. We’ve seen it happen elsewhere beyond the case you mention.

    That’s good, hopefully these terrible laws will get overturned in even more states this election cycle. Also, assuming it gets on the ballot it could improve turnout for Jon Tester too. Really need him re elected for Democrats to have a shot at holding on to the senate and have any chance at passing a national law (and block Republicans from trying to pass a national ban too of course).
