Richard Hasen (UC Irvine professor, election law expert and blogger, former Horvitz & Levy attorney, and continuing consultant to the firm) has an op-ed in today’s Los Angeles Times making the legal case against the initiative to split California into three separate states. (See also here.) He calls for someone to bring the case to the Supreme Court, which could prevent the measure from even appearing on the November ballot despite having qualified for a vote. Hasen writes that the court “will almost certainly rule that the way in which Draper [the initiative sponsor] is trying to create three Californias violates the state Constitution and has no place on the ballot to begin with.”
David Carrillo and Stephen Duvernay had a similar piece in Friday’s Daily Journal.
