Posted on 07/12/12 at 05:26 pm in response to Minnesota amendment wording can affect votes, experts say

is muddying the waters and confusing the voters, as is their usual practice.

That's why it's essential - whenever and wherever this subject comes up - to point out that Minnesota State Statute specifies that it is the job of the Secretary of State to provide a title for amendments. Mark Ritchie is not overstepping his bounds, and whenever anyone tries to tell you he was, they need to be educated as to the content of the state statute.
