●Ballot Measures: Daily Kos Elections' Stephen Wolf takes a look at 24 ballot measures happening around the country this election season that would reshape how elections and voting work, with several measures seeking to protect fair elections while others attempt to undermine them. Major issues include redistricting reform, changes to the electoral system itself to help promote majority winners, efforts to lower the voting age in local elections, and even Republican-backed efforts to restrict future ballot initiatives after voters in several states used them to strengthen representative democracy at the ballot box.
Key elections include whether to adopt redistricting reform in Virginia or variations of instant-runoff voting in Alaska and Massachusetts, Colorado's membership in the National Popular Vote Compact for the Electoral College, and Puerto Rico's latest referendum on statehood.
