How to Nominate a Law for Abrogate.org
The best nominations include a plain-English summary, a realistic repeal plan, and an official .gov source.
A strong Abrogate.org nomination starts with the official text. Internet lists of strange laws are often copied, exaggerated, or missing context. That is why public submissions should include a .gov source whenever possible: a legislature, agency, city, county, court, or federal page that shows the real language.
Next, explain the problem in plain English. Do not just say the law is “crazy.” Say what it appears to do, who it could affect, why it is outdated, and what should happen next. A good nomination is easy for a voter to understand and easy for a lawmaker to verify.
Finally, include a realistic abrogation plan. Some laws should be deleted. Others should be rewritten, consolidated with modern rules, narrowed to address a real harm, or moved into nonbinding guidance. The more precise the plan, the more useful the campaign.
