While Missouri lawmakers recently passed a measure to make it tougher to pass citizen-led ballot initiatives, one of those initiatives would preserve the current system as-is.

Marshall Griffin spoke with Benjamin Singer, campaign director for the Respect Missouri Voters campaign.

“If you vote for something, it’s supposed to actually matter,” Slaybaugh said. “And I really feel like we’re disenfranchising an entire generation of voters.”

The group is advocating for a measure that would prevent lawmakers from changing or weakening voter-approved petitions once they pass. Volunteers are working at festivals and community events across Missouri to gather signatures.

Under the Respect MO Voters proposal, passage of a bill changing anything in a successful initiative would require support from 80% of lawmakers in both chambers and be subject to another statewide vote.

The Republican plan to increase the majority requirement found no support at the 25 town halls the campaign has conducted, campaign director Benjamin Singer said.

“What we kept hearing from people across the political spectrum at these town halls and listening sessions was that they wanted it to be as difficult as possible for politicians to repeal or change what the people decided,” Singer said.
