In Arizona, a ballot initiative that gets the support of at least half the people who vote is approved. Makes sense right? So why change it?
I want my voice heard, I know no big surprise - sometimes it's just fun to state the obvious, but I don't want people who are to apathetic to get out and vote (or request an early mail-in ballot) to have any impact even in the slightest manner.
It's a vote, it's about being heard, it's about voicing your opinion.
The process is: Register and VOTE.
NOT - register and we'll take care of the rest. It's not McDonald's Damn-it, it's AMERICA.
Proposition 105 would require a majority of all those registered, not just a majority of those who vote, for any measure that increases taxes, fees or involves additional government spending.
I have never seen an election where 100% of all registered voters turn out to actually vote. Sadly, it's far less than that. Arizona predicts 70% turn out for the historic Presidential Election this November, in a non-presidential election year the numbers are drastically reduced.
According to the
Here's the kicker to Prop 105, it automatically counts all of those non-voters (including the non-living) as No votes.
