It doesn't matter. A Clinton appointee will rule the ballot measure was unconstitutional and void the will of the people. Then the ACLU and the atheist who started the whole mess will win their case in front of another Clinton appointee and the Park Service will be ordered to tear the cross down.
It's a shame. I've visited the cross many, many times during my residency in San Diego. It's a beautiful thing to see.
Me, too, Buckeye. It's a lovely location; great place to visit and just walk around calmly. I think that with a 75% vote, the single atheist who began this whole cherade isn't going to get very far. He should quit and go eat worms.

Napoleon A. Jones, Jr. United States District Court for the Southern District of California San Diego, California Born: Hodge, Louisiana-August 25, 1940 Education: San Diego State University (A.B. 1962, M.S.W. 1967); University of San Diego School of Law (J.D. 1971) where he was a member of the San Diego Law Review. Judge Jones was appointed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California by President Clinton.
I have no inside knowledge but it would not surprise me if some judge overturns the election and orders the monument to be destroyed. It would be something like, it is midnight and the judge overturns the election results and orders the monument destroyed and a minute after midnight a wrecking crew (that just happens to be at the monument, nudge, nudge, wink, wink) starts destroying the monument. The monument is gone before any mere citizen notices. Maybe this is paranoid, but this is how I see some Stalinist judge acting.
Fine. And then maybe, just maybe, the people will take matters into their own hands and (nod, nod, wink, wink) send a "message" to said judge that the people rule.
And that's not advocating violence. It's sending a simple message that the people rule and will no longer tolerate judicial facism. It's like "High Noon"...will it take the one brave man to stand up to wrong while everyone else sits on their butts?
