A three-judge panel ordered election officials to keep the huge Michigan constitutional re-write off November's ballot.
They said it was too broad, and more worthy of a constitutional convention. Ballot initiatives need to be easy to understand, and this initiative was anything but that. It would have re-written thirty sections of the Michigan constitution, with no opportunity to vote 'yes' on some of the proposals, and 'no' on others.
This is a very good decision.
I do think that some of the ideas should be voted on, but each with their own individual ballot proposals.
