I worry that when things like this happen, the real lesson legislators take away is to be be more sneaky about it next time.

- ianlevesque 5y agoYou are right to worry. Remember net neutrality? Those were the days.
- handrous 5y agoIn my state there was a ballot measure passed by a large margin (by voting standards, anyway). The legislature hated it (it had to do with making gerrymandering harder, among other things), so they introduced another ballot measure ASAP that read like did a couple very minor things that seem like good ideas, provided you don't think about them too much, and that was what the ballot measure highlighted—but also entirely undid the most important parts of the prior measure. It passed by like 1%. They lied and got what they wanted. 0% chance a version of that with honest language would have passed.
