I think this would be a swell idea, but for the fact that I'm willing to bet that 90% of the populace doesn't know where their state legislators stand on the subject. In some ways, I would venture to say the state politicians are even less accountable to the electorate than the federal ones, in the sense that the public at large knows less about them and what they are doing. Now, if you're talking a referendum, that's another thing, entirely.

Hell, it always amused me that the lowliest of low-level local officials feel the need to state their affinity for Roe during their campaigns.
I always find myself asking, "Why the flying fuck do I care that City Councilman Joe Blow supports Roe. Where does he stand on that traffic light!!!!"
* then again, a sizable majority of Americans couldn't find the State of Texas on a map, so you may have a point.
