Lange v. Martin

Summary

The court granted expedited consideration of the original action challenging a proposed casino-related constitutional amendment and granted intervention to both the amendment's sponsors and several registered voters. It bifurcated the ballot-title and constitutional claims from the signature-validity claim, appointed a master to resolve factual issues concerning the signatures, established briefing deadlines, denied oral argument, and required petitioners and intervenors to post a bond. The order addressed case-management and participation issues without deciding the merits of the ballot or signature challenges.
