SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California appeals court on Tuesday upheld the casting aside of one of three ballot measures that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger backs for a special election in November.
The Republican governor favors Proposition 77, a voter initiative to change the way the state draws its political map by taking the responsibility out of the hands of the Democratic-controlled legislature.
Last month a California Superior Court judge tossed out the measure because the text that voters signed to put the redistricting measure on the ballot differed in 17 places from the language submitted to state officials.
Backers of the measure asked the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District to reconsider the ruling. But in a 2-1 decision, they lost a second round of the legal battle that could go to the California Supreme Court.

Office holders, maybe, but Democrats in general, I don't think so compared to Prop. 75 (paycheck protection).
