The petitioners would need to collect signatures from registered voters equal to at least 10% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election.

I really hate that this is the standard. It means that the more votes we cast for governor, the less power we have to enact a referendum.

Counter-point: Gavin Newson Gubernatorial Recall

That was a shitshow.

That's how the establishment parties want it, because it entrenches their power while removing legal avenues for citizens to make change.

But this also make it harder for extremist groups do pass their measures.

Like some could try it with Anti-Abortion measures.

Or look at California's Gubernatorial Recall shenanigans.
