Assignment 2 – Direct Democracy. Please look at the Initiative and Referendum Institutes report on the 2020 election, which can be found here: Initiative and Referendum Institute. Ballot Watch Election 2020. http://www.iandrinstitute.org/docs/BW-2020-2-Results.pdf. Using this document, identify two direct democracy provisions that you found interesting. Once you have identified them, look up how they came to pass (or fail), by answering these questions:
Find out how each initiative ended up on the ballot. That is, who sponsored these initiatives? Provide documentation and sources for your findings.
Find out how much money was spent to get this initiative on the ballot and how much was spent on the campaign? Were there any endorsements either in favor or against? Provide documentation and sources for your findings.
Create a proposal for a new law that you would like to see on the ballot in your state. How would you get this on the ballot? How would you convince the public to support your initiative (this part should be about 3 paragraphs)
