Voters are heading back to the polls to play state-level pinball
It turns out democracy is a bit like a circular argument, and Missouri and California are currently leading the charge.
In Missouri, voters are essentially getting a do-over on abortion rights. They stripped away a ban a couple of years ago, and now they might turn around and put it right back. It is the legislative equivalent of leaving a party, walking to your car, and then deciding you actually want another drink.
Meanwhile, over in California, they are eyeing the wallets of the ultra-wealthy. The proposal? A 5% wealth tax on billionaires. It seems the state decided that if you have enough money to buy a small country, you can probably spare a little extra for the public pot.
Voters are essentially functioning as the ultimate fact-checkers for their own previous decisions.
