I recently received my voter pamphlet with the arguments for and against measures 66 and 67. It was most revealing to notice that the Secretary of State had put an argument for the measures as the first argument against. This kind of tricky abuse of the system was a fraudulent move on her part, undermining the very integrity of the democratic process. It shows what lengths a public official can go to in order to manipulate the system by using her position to influence an election. I would not be surprised to see a state or federal investigation of this matter. Surely if these measures pass, the voters will consider their judicial recourse to invalidate the election.
