Term limits had a remarkable showing on the November ballot. In all, 15 votes were held on term limits, and supporters of term limits succeeded in every vote. This includes two statewide votes; one in South Dakota, which would have repealed the state's term limits law; the other in Louisiana, which placed term limits on several gubernatorial appointed positions.
The South Dakota vote failed by a 3 to 1 margin, keeping the state term limits law intact. The Louisiana measure passed overwhelmingly.
However, it appears that politicians still have not learned that voters love term limits.
