Ballot initiatives offer opportunities to test theories about consumer knowledge of economic issues. The received theory is that initiative and referendum elections give people a greater opportunity to repeal special interest laws than is possible for legislators. This argument assumes that the majority of voters know their own self-interest while being rationally ignorant of the positions taken on special interest legislation by candidates, but …
