They keep trying to do this in Arkansas too. So far enough people have seen through it and voted it down each time but I think there’s another one in the works.
Arizona, don’t let the GOP do this to you. They tried to do this to us in Ohio. The “geographic restrictions” meant that each county had to have a specific number of signers before a measure could go on the ballot. What the language of the Ohio GOP measure meant was that, in addition to other barriers, our smallest voting county (Vinton County Ohio) needed 154 people to sign the measure (in addition to 5% of voters from the prior election in every other county). Here’s the whole story on the GOP Ohio attempt
So had the GOP had their way a tiny number of people from our smallest county could have decided whether the entire state gets to get a measure on the ballot. Ohio voted this down. If you want your voice heard, I recommend you do the same.
