In my grand ole state of Utah, even our voting doesn't matter [0]! The Utah legislature gutted a medicaid expansion program which the population had passed in a ballot initiative in 2018.

Technically legal? Sure, they're the legislature, they can do whatever they want. Incredibly disappointing as a voter.

Except for staying in office if the voters vote them out.
