Randy Billings’ excellent Aug. 1 article educates about the upcoming referendum questions.
The full text of the Question 1, voter ID, clarifies how much it proposes to limit voter access, rather than limiting voter fraud. Question 2, the red flag law, suggests a legal, temporary response to concerns about firearm access to persons who may pose a threat.
The full article informs about the history leading to each question and groups that support, oppose and fund the campaigns.
I hope there will be a link to this story closer to the date of the fall vote.
