The last time 209 was up for repeal was last year. Elected officials were not involved. It was up for popular vote, and it failed. I think the margin was even wider than when 209 was first put in place.

The pro-209 campaign was outspent something like $27M to $1.6M but still prevailed.

It was a legislature introduced constitutional amendment; the legislature was heavily involved by virtue of voting to put it on the ballot.
Ah, my mistake, I was thinking of the attempt in 2012.
