Tom Steele v. John Thurston

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Steele's challenge to two legislatively proposed constitutional amendments on the 2020 general-election ballot. It held that challenges to such amendments remain governed by article 19, section 22, that the ballot titles sufficiently identified the proposals without constituting manifest fraud, and that Issue 3 satisfied the separate-issue requirement because its provisions were reasonably germane to a common subject. The court also concluded that its jurisdiction in this matter was appellate only.
