The citizens’ ballot?
Bamboozled, hoodwinked and screwed. We, the voters of California, are being set up for a monumental miscarriage of democracy when we go to vote in the Nov. 8 General Election.

But the real problem lies in the obscure text and the felonious pro and con arguments attached to each question.
