You're listening to the 1A podcast. I'm Jen White and I'm Todd Zwyllic.

Today for our weekly politics series, if you can keep it, we're looking at ballot measures.

This year, voters in 41 states will consider 160 of them.

Now, that's not too many more than usual.

From 2010 to 2022, the average number of ballot measures in election years was 161.

That's according to ballot media. What is unusual is the number of abortion

related measures. 11, the most on record for a single year.

Other consequential issues are up for consideration too.

Voters in multiple states will decide on non-citizen voting bans, electoral processes, and minimum wage.

So today we're going to get an overview of ballot measures nationwide, and the strategies that opponents and supporters are using to sway the outcome their way. We've been hearing from you. My name is Jim. I live in

Utah. There's a ballot initiative put up by the state legislature modifying their

ability to change

to citizen initiatives.

I will be voting against it,

both because I don't believe the legislature should have this ability,

but more particularly because the language that they are proposing to put on the ballot is deceptive.

And I highly oppose deceptive language and persons who use it.

We'll have more from you and our guests after the brain. Stay with us.
