[EL] Questions about the state referendums - 2014 midterms

[Rob Richie]

The Initiative and Referendum Institute covers this comprehensively --
here's a fall 2014 report:
http://www.iandrinstitute.org/BW%202014-1%20Preview%20(v0)%202014--09-07.pdf

It reports 146 propositions in 41 states, including 33 initiatives and 4
referendums.

The South Carolina independence referendum of course will draw a big
turnout...... Oh, I'm being told that all secession votes are off the
table, unlike the recent vote in Scotland or your fine province's vote back
in 1995.
