PROP 1: Two issues in one ballot measure
One of the most confusing parts of Congressional and Legislative bills is when the Title of the original bill is modified to include items that have nothing to do with the original idea. As an example, we see issues like a popular measure that would improve school options have a road project added to it so it will get passed as well.
What we have coming before us this November is Proposition 1. While both sides of this are election issues, in theory they can be joined. The question, is why do we have two different issues on one ballot proposition. Some like Open Primary’s but hate Ranked Choice Voting, Others like Ranked Choice Voting but hate Open Primary’s. These are very different issues and should not be combined into one Proposition. If each issue could stand on its own then there should have been two Propositions.
