What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBack home, thirty-nine states will put at least one question on the November third ballot, according to the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWealth taxes, abortion, Flock cameras in Arizona.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSix of them will vote on banning noncitizens from voting, a brave new frontier that opened, as far as I can tell, a very long time ago.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's already banned. The report calls the vote symbolic.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSymbolic is just a ban that wants to be seen, Hank, and let me finish, because six states saying it twice is simply being thorough.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, but this is the best content strategy ever.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou post a rule that already exists, everybody argues in the comments, and nobody can say you're wrong.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho's against it?

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody, so I'm taking the side of the existing law. Someone has to defend it from the six states that think it needs backup.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen I want a vote on gravity, and a second vote on whether Hank's tie is blue.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe measure will pass, the law will stay the law, and Kenji will finally win an argument by agreeing with himself.
