Socialists aren't fans of due process. It gets in the way of their elimination of dissenters.

Do we know how this is going to be worded on this years ballot?

I'm going to guess that the ballots are already printed up and this is a sample copy for my area. It's on the first page, judge retention is on the third.

"Do you support rape victims? Check here ___ "

"Do you support rapists and murderers? Check here ___ "

or something very similar.

California (wow!)
Kentucky
Montana

Everyone needs to understand that although the injunction was granted, you still need to vote NO on the issue on Tuesday, as it is possible that the injunction could be dissolved in the future and the Secretary directed to tabulate and certify the votes. https://blog.princelaw.com/2019/10/3...n-is-enjoined/
