Ninth Circuit Rejects Constitutional Challenge to Nevada’s Single Subject Rule

See Pest Committee v. Miller. Particularly interesting to me (given this work) was the discussion of the vagueness challenge to the rule. The court wrote: “evidence that some ballot petitions have been successfully challenged does not demonstrate that the language of either the single-subject or the description-of-effect requirement is insufficient to provide persons of ordinary intelligence a reasonable opportunity to understand what is required for ballot initiatives and referenda, and the language of the statutory requirements provides sufficiently explicit standards for judges charged with reviewing their application.”
