Ed Still at votelaw.com reports that MALDEF has sued to keep the Ward Connerly privacy initiative off the October 7 ballot in California. It claims that the Voting Rights Act requires that voters in counties subject to pre-clearance (there are four in Calif.) must receive ballot information 100 days before the vote, and that the 57 days voters in Monterey County will have is “too short a time frame to digest the proposition and what it means,” according to a MALDEF staff attorney.

Should be NJ, of course.
