Alabama commission dissolves judicial seat won by Black woman : politics

If you overrule democracy (or try to) whenever you get results you don’t like, is it even a democracy anymore?

Recently Kansas people voted to keep abortion illegal. Now republicans are trying to fight the results. The West Virginia Governor heard about this and now refuses to make the issue a referendum up to the people of that state. At least one state voted to make marijuana legal and the Governor/ state courts just said “no.” link

Edit: Arizona courts also overruled a voter approved tax on the wealthy to fund schools. link

Edit 2: South Dakota voters passed a referendum that tightened campaign finance laws. It was mostly passed by low income BIPOC. The legislature overruled that. link

Edit 3: Florida voters passed a law allowing medicinal cannabis. The state legislature essentially tried to overrule that and made smoking medicinal cannabis illegal. link

Edit 4: Maine voters passed a measure to expand Medicaid. The GOP Governor simply refused to implement it even after ordered by a court to do so. link

Edit 5: Arizona voters passed an initiative in 2015 to form an independent redistributing commission (to prevent gerrymandering) and the Republican legislature attempted to overrule it. The US Supreme court stepped in and made the state enforce it.link (Would same result happen in SCOTUS now?

Edit 6: Republican Governor of Maine Paul Lepaige again tried to overrule voters, who this time approved rank choice voting. link
