You can find the current version of the database here.
You will also always be able to find a link to the database on the
right side of the blog under "Election Law Resources." I'll update this
at least once a year.
The Sacramento Bee offers this
report,
with the following subhead: "Group seeks to toss legislators' rival
measure off the ballot." The challenge is based upon article XVIII,
section 1, of the California Constitution, providing that: “Each
amendment [the the state constitution placed on the ballot by the
legislature] shall be so prepared and submitted that it can be voted on
separately." [Disclosure: I am a consultant to Californians for an Open
Primary, which brought this lawsuit.]
The Wall Street Journal offers this
report,
with the following subhead: "Under New Law, It's Often Independent
Groups, Not Campaigns." Thanks to Steven Sholk for the link.
See Legal
Reserve by Marisa Katz. Thanks to How Appealing for the
pointer.
