Court upholds ballot explanation
Friday July 23rd, 2010
The South Dakota Supreme Court upheld
the attorney general's explanation of Constitutional Amendment K
that will be on the state's ballot in November.
The AFL-CIO went to circuit court to challenge the explanation
and have the proposal on secret balloting removed from the ballot.
A judge upheld it. In an opinion released Thursday, the Supreme
Court affirmed the judge's ruling.
Amendment K was put on the ballot by this year's Legislature.
The attorney general's explanation says it would guarantee the
right to a secret ballot in electing public officers, adopting
initiated or referred measures, and designating or authorizing
employee representation by a union.
