I have just changed the summary of Initiative 200. The new wording comes from the official ballot title itself. This was a point of contention in the debate over the initiative in 1997 and 1998. Certain opponents wanted the ballot to state that I-200 would prohibit affirmative action. That challenge was defeated. Now, ten years later, the initiative has passed, the new law is still in effect, and so is affirmative action.
I am hoping that this explanation will head off any edit wars. The previous summary misrepresented the word, intent, and result of Initiative 200.-- Geometricks ( talk) 12:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Might it make sense to combine similar ballot measures such as Initiatives to the People, Initiatives to the Legislature, Referenda and similar items into a single list? Rorybowman ( talk) 23:05, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
