  • The Impact of a Candidate-Centered Initiative Campaign
    UC Irvine CSD Working Papers Title Initiatives as Running Mates: The Impact of a Candidate-Centered Initiative Campaign Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/92x0t2ts Author Salvanto, Anthony Publication Date 1998-02-15 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California CSD Center for the Study of Democracy An Organized Research Unit University of California, Irvine www.democ.uci.edu When states began ushering the popular ballot initiative into law in the early 20th century, it was heralded as a return of real and direct decision-making authority to the people. The Progressive reformers, who had spearheaded the initiative movement, foresaw voters taking up the pressing issues of the day one at a time, and considering those matters without regard for petty politics, partisanship, or special interests. Today, the Progressives' idyllic vision of an enlightened initiative voter weighing in on the issues before the polity has faded--replaced by one of a voter who instead looks for shortcuts to help him or her make quick sense of the measures. Often this involves looking toward a favored political figure--sometimes, a candidate running in the same election--for guidance on how to vote. Some partisan candidates are all too happy to oblige: many take full advantage of the dynamic, advocating initiatives which advance their own favored policies or ideologies. The degree to which voters connect a candidate choice and an initiative stance is important to how we interpret initiative results. If voters link support for a candidate with support for that candidate's favored initiative, and if they behave accordingly at the ballot box, then an initiative may be little more than an extension or echo of a campaign platform.

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .
