An initiative to divide California into three states will not appear on the November ballot. The California Supreme Court today blocked Proposition 9 from reaching the ballot. The court cites significant questions regarding the proposition’s validity, and says the potential harm in permitting the measure to remain on the ballot outweighs the potential harm in delaying the proposition to a future election.
