Initiative invites fraud and furor over California ballots
Voters faced 22 statewide propositions last November, 13 from legislative actions and nine from petition drives. Secretary Edmund Brown cited a near $11 million war chest and said paid circulators and special interests dominated. Proposals on farm worker regulations, state worker salary rules, and Watson tax limits failed, while coastline conservation passed. Lawmakers proposed reforms including banning paid signature gathering, requiring two-thirds for constitutional changes, and increasing valid signatures for initiatives. Critics say many measures arose from legislative inaction while proponents defend direct democracy as a check on captured politics.
