Summary
On this week's episode, students Madelyn Bruckel, Corey Alcivar, Clara Ellington, and Kyndall Shaw talk about ballot initiatives and the impact of direct democracy on civil rights. To learn more about what they are and how they work, they interviewed Professor Terri Enns, a law professor at Moritz School of Law at Ohio State. Professor Enns discussed the function of ballot initiatives, the process for getting issues on the ballot, and the pros and cons of this form of direct democracy. Nicole Morino, a reproductive rights activist through Catholics for Choice, spoke to us about her role in the recent election in Ohio where citizens voted to amend the state constitution to include the right to reproductive choice. Next, because ballot initiatives are not available in North Carolina, they spoke to Campbell's own Professor Rick Glazier to learn what North Carolinians can do to have their voices heard. Finally, they spoke with Miguel Hernandez to learn about the downsides of ballot initiatives and how language can be used to misguide voters.
