    People in one city could use it for city council. That’s where it got started in some places. They tried it, people loved it, and it grew. If it’s banned statewide they can’t do that.

    The Republicans, as they do, are trying to prove they’re the party of small government by running everything and telling everyone what they can and can’t do.
