A supermajority means never having to compromise

In California, initiatives appear on the ballot if enough citizens sign petitions.
The card-table in front of a grocery store where those signatures are obtained is a familiar sight to Californians.

Three qualified before the social-distancing rules. That’s one of the lowest totals in years.
