SD Democrats Brand Referred Law 19 as Establishment Incumbent Power Grab

Republican House Majority Leader Brian Gosch (R-32/Rapid City) thinks Referred Law 19 is about nothing but Republican awesomeness. The South Dakota Democratic Party agrees that Referred Law 19 is all about people like Gosch, but my favorite partisans manage to put it in terms of power, not partisanship:

Drafted by incumbents, for incumbents—exactly! Making it harder for regular folks to run for office is a transparent power play by the political establishment. Even you rabid Trumpists should be able to agree with us Democrats that Referred Law 19 is bad for South Dakota.
