> What percentage of California voters do you believe read that language?
It's not possible, by design, to read any proposition or ballot measure in the State of California while voting. You must do so prior to voting - and I might add its not even easy to do that. Typically a voter will read a summary, and confuse it with legal text. Again this is all by system design.
The system is designed with summaries and titles which are created by a committee, and in my opinion to mislead the public.
It would be far better to have titles such as "Measure 1", and a complete legal text as your question implies. But it is not possible with what voters are provided.
- mewse 5y agoI guess I was just confused about why you would jump in to declare that 60% of California votes "approved this language" when you knew full well that the vast majority of voters had never even seen the language.
