Group: Calif. transgender law repeal will qualify
Source: AP
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Opponents of a new California law that gives transgender students certain rights said Sunday that they had collected enough signatures for an initiative that would repeal the law.
A coalition of conservative groups called Privacy for all Students submitted 620,000 signatures to get the initiative on the November 2014 ballot, said Frank Schubert, the political strategist handling the signature gathering effort.
To qualify, at least 505,000 valid signatures must be submitted. To verify the signatures, each of California's 58 counties will first check that the overall count is correct, then conduct a random sampling to make sure they are legitimate. After that, it is likely the state would order a full review.
If, after all of the reviews, the group has the requisite number of valid signatures, the initiative would qualify for the ballot.

"Privacy for All Students"? Can anyone say Newspeak? Just like when MRAs say "True Equality" or "equalism not feminism".

Blue counties voted for Jerry Brown in 2010, red counties for Meg Whitman.
Basically I think every county outside LA/OC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and San Diego will vote Yes. But guess where most Californians live?
Oddly a lot of the counties that voted for Brown in 2010 voted Yes on Prop. 8 two years earlier!
And most CA counties voted for Obama back then too.
