NEWSFLASH: REDISTRICTING REFORM PROPOSITION 77, IS BACK ON NOVEMBER BALLOT IN CALIFORNIA.
The California Republican Party has just released this email:
Today the California Supreme Court ruled that Proposition 77, the Voter Empowerment Act, should be allowed on the November 8th Special Election Ballot.
...SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The California Supreme Court ruled Friday that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt to change the way legislative districts are drawn should be placed back on November's special election ballot.
The 4-2 decision overturns a state appellate court ruling that removed the measure because of a wording dispute.
In its ruling, the San Francisco-based court said it was unconvinced there were different meanings in the versions of the measure that were submitted to the attorney general for review and shown to registered voters for their signature to place it on the ballot.
"We conclude that it would not be appropriate to deny the electorate the opportunity to vote on Proposition 77 at the special election to be held on November 8, 2005, on the basis of such discrepancies," the majority wrote.
