内布拉斯加州选民可能很快决定把改变法律的门槛从49人中的三分之二提高到40人。 Nebraska voters may soon decide to raise the threshold to change laws from two-thirds to 40 out of 49.

内布拉斯加人正在考虑一项投票倡议, 尊重内布拉斯加选民, 这需要40个超过49个的超级多数才能改变选民通过的法律, Nebraskans are considering a ballot initiative, Respect Nebraska Voters, which would require a 40-out-of-49 supermajority to change laws passed by voters, raising the bar from two-thirds. 支持者说,立法者削弱了选民批准的关于最低工资和病假等问题的措施,损害了直接民主。 Supporters say lawmakers have weakened voter-approved measures on issues like minimum wage and sick leave, undermining direct democracy. 包括丹妮尔·康拉德(Sen. Danielle Conrad)在内的批评者认为选举和全民公决等现有工具已经足够, Critics, including Sen. Danielle Conrad, argue existing tools like elections and referendums are sufficient, warning the change could block needed fixes to laws, such as voter ID, and lead to legal challenges. 这项措施正在审查中,如果符合条件,可以出现在2026年投票中。 The measure is under review and could appear on the 2026 ballot if it qualifies.
