    They literally already do this. When I lived there, medical marijuana was a ballot initiative. It passed with flying colors, but then the legislature kneecapped the entire bill, basically rewriting it from scratch to make the church happy.

      They did it with the redistricting (gerrymandering)as well. And then the Utah Supreme court ruled against them, saying what they did was illegal. This passing would make what they did legal.
