Not true.  Proposition on the ballot that passes a majority vote in

The only problem is that only 24 states (less than 75%) have popular
initiative (see http://www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i&r.htm).

Even if 75% of states did have initiative, getting the same initiative
through all of them would be a huge undertaking.
