The California Supreme Court blocked a controversial measure to divide the state into three sections from appearing on the ballot this fall; saying the measure needs further clarification before it can be presented to voters.
The three-state initiative, dubbed Cal-3, was stricken from the ballot Wednesday just nine days after opponents of the legislation filed a lawsuit arguing the measure should instead be decided in 2020.
“The court said it usually allows ballot measures to go to the voters before considering constitutional challenges. But in this case, the six justices said, ‘significant questions regarding the proposition’s validity’ and the ‘potential harm’ of allowing a public vote before those questions are resolved ‘outweighs the potential harm in delaying the proposition to a future election,” writes the San Francisco Chronicle.
Critics of the bill may be looking at the disastrous ‘Brexit’ referendum in the United Kingdom, where voters opted to leave the European Union without being presented with a clear path towards independence.
The resulting chaos may force UK residents to vote a second time, this time being presented with definitive options.
