States must safeguard ballot referendums from foreign influence

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : A recent poll by the Honest Elections Project found that 78% of the public agrees that foreign nationals should not be influencing our elections.
61% : While foreign nationals are already prohibited from donating to U.S. political candidates, committees, and super PACs, this prohibition does not apply to ballot measures, creating a gaping loophole that liberal dark money efforts are quick to exploit with foreign funds.
51% : US STRIKES DEAL WITH UKRAINE FOR CEASEFIRE, SAYS THE 'BALL' IS NOW IN RUSSIA'S 'COURT' Allowing foreign nationals to influence U.S. elections undermines the voices of voters.
46% : With growing geopolitical threats such as the influence of the Chinese Communist Party, states are wise to ensure the integrity of their elections and guard against the influence of foreign actors that seek to undermine American values and state interests.
