but the Judge here is making things much more complicated than they ought to be.

How so? Is it not reasonable to enforce that ballot measures must be specific and not just a ton of stuff all bundled into a big all-or-nothing vote?

What's illegal is different from what's reasonable. I'm going to have to find the judge's opinion, but the article doesn't really give any reasons why it's illegal.

Congress passes all sorts of these big bundles of law all the time

You seriously see no problem with just putting massive bundles of issues on a purely binary yes/no vote with no room for anything to be changed or removed?

Then vote it down

Actually, now that I read the damn article again, it seems like there's a single subject rule in Nevada. That's the crux of the issue.

Yes. That was the entire point. What have you been talking about this whole time
