Looks like MO needs to enact something similar.
A big thing in MO is the (R)s' desire to morph the state into a "right to work" state. The people have repeatedly rejected these efforts, but the war continues. Rex Sinquefield, a billionaire, has been funding the effort to weaken unions and enact right to work laws. Gee, wonder why that is? He's the epitome of all that is wrong when we start mixing massive amounts of money with politics.

Were you in Michigan when a ballot proposal passed that eliminated the Emergency Manager law? Within a month, the Republican legislature killed it and made it so it could not be put back in a proposal. They simply erased the vote of the people and substituted what they wanted. How un-Democratic and unAmerican can you get.

Change the constitution to the right to arm bears.

The Republican Party does not genuinely give a shit about the Electoral College on principal, unless it allows them to win. In 2000, when pre-election polling pointed to a possibility that Al Gore might win the EC, while losing the popular vote, the Bush campaign was preparing to challenge the legitimacy of the election.
Combine that with the fact that Republicans have gerrymandered election results, commited widespread acts of electoral fraud, suppressed voting, and done everything in the power to just make voting a hassle.
And that is exactly why Soviet leaders told Ronald Reagan to get fucked when he tried to lecture them about the superiority of western democracy. Even though the Soviets lied about a lot of things, there was more than a kernel of truth in their claim that American conservative leaders do not give a shit about democracy, and seek to game the system to thwart the will of the people.
