5:59Now PlayingPopulist rebellion has deep roots in the Dakotas. In 1898, South Dakota became first state to grant voters the power to pass laws through popular ballot initiatives. Now 26 states have that option.
In 2016, TakeItBack.org, a grass roots movement, challenged the political establishment with three ballot reforms. To everyone's surprise, voters adopted public funding of campaigns. Republican political leaders were shocked. They declared an emergency and nullified them popular vote. That set off a new confrontation in the 2018 election.
