Voting Studies for Texas Citizens
• Why does Texas have so many elections, and why do few people vote in them?, The Texas Tribune, 15 September 2022, Excerpts
Small government vs. a lot of government: Texas was founded with one of the country’s most restrictive constitutions, imposing strict limits and rules on what the government can do. It’s the state’s original mistrust of government that, ironically, fuels the long list of ballot items voters face.
Putting as many offices on the ballot as possible was meant to ensure citizens had a say in their elected officials on every level of the government, said Bob Stein, a political science professor at Rice University.
