GET ME REWRITE: GOP state legislators move to muzzle the voice of the people

 
Headline:  New York Times, 4/8/2026

Kate Zernike reports:
Voters frustrated by one-party control in Republican states over the last decade have increasingly turned to citizen-sponsored initiatives to enact policies that their legislatures won’t. They expanded Medicaid, adopted paid sick leave, raised the minimum wage and safeguarded access to abortion. 
Now, the legislators are striking back.
