Especially given the wording of the actual initiative...
"To preserve and protect the right of the people to fiscal responsibility through true majority rule, an initiative measure that establishes, imposes or raises a tax, fee, or other revenue, or mandates a spending obligation, whether on a pirvate person, labor organization, other private legal entity or this state,
shall not become law unless the measure is approved by a majority of qualified electors then registered to vote in this state."
Without actually knowing what it's about, one would think it's just saying that in order for a law to pass, it simply needs majority vote from the voters. But what it's really saying is that it needs majority vote from all registered to vote. Bullshit.
