WI Ballot Spotlight: Adding voter ID to the constitution + Adopting the citizen initiative?
Q: What about before Mississippi, since technically, let's not count Mississippi because they don't actually have it right now. So when was the last state to add the initiative before Mississippi?

Q: What are the front runner candidates in the Democratic primary and what are the issues that candidates are running on just to earn the nomination in the first place?
