The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association was previously successful at keeping a ballot measure concerning Citizens United out of California saying that it would "clutter the ballot" and "could be used to shape voter turnout."
But today, the California Supreme Court cleared the way for the
Legislature to place an advisory measure on the November ballot asking
voters to express their views on campaign spending. The proposition asks voters whether there should be a federal
constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in
Citizens United vs. FEC, which permitted unlimited corporate and union
spending for federal candidates.
The conservatives know that high voter turnout favors people who want to break down hierarchies, not people like themselves who want to conserve hierarchies. Voter turnout could impact not only this advisory, but Presidential and Congressional races of course.
