The Word Referendum Gets Tossed Around A Lot

Al Ritter

People who aren’t that well versed in civics say that they should put up a referendum vote in the federal election. Well referendum questions are only for state elections not federal. There may well be a reason for that. States are smaller and only include the voters in that state to make specific requests from their elected officials.

State referendums pose a question and you either vote for or against it. Once done you decide the outcome of that question as a voter.

I’m not sure why this can’t be done for a federal election but my gut tells me that the federal government really does care what the voter thinks once they get elected into office, but alas that is my personal opinion!

It’s not mentioned in the Constitution or even in the Amendments but rather an unspoken rule amongst legislators, who knows but what remains is that we the people are denied a voice on the federal level except to vote out undesirables.

This leads me to the situation at hand, the State Of Virginia and the State of New Jersey. If anyone handed the #Brandonadminstration and AG Merrick Garland a loss yesterday, Virginia has now been decided and New Jersey is still too close to call but even if NJ is a loss it was still close as hell!

This was the people speaking to Joe Biden, and telling him that we are tired of this country’s destruction, and we aren’t putting up with it anymore!

We might not get a national referendum vote, but we can sure as hell send a message about the mid-term elections coming up!
