Ballot Ballgame: Judge Rules on Propositions | Tucson News

A Phoenix judge just ruled that Arizona’s Secretary of State illegally described a ballot measure, saying voters can’t be told one proposition nullifies another before votes are cast. Proposition 145, meant to protect military family vouchers, includes a “poison pill” clause that voids the entire opposing measure, Prop 212 — but the judge said Fontes’ wording misled voters by implying Prop 212 was already law. Fontes must rewrite the description without mentioning Prop 212, and his office is eyeing the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another legal fight questions whether Prop 145 should even be on the ballot — adding layers of complexity as Election Day nears.
