Missouri affirmative action ballot proposal draws challenges

Tue, Dec 23 2008

The wording of a proposed ballot measure banning many Missouri affirmative action programs has again prompted litigation from supporters and critics of the measure.
Earlier this month, the secretary of state’s office approved for circulation a proposed 2010 ballot measure that would restrict affirmative action programs in public contracting, employment and education. An identical proposition for the 2008 ballot never qualified and led to lawsuits questioning the fairness of the ballot summary that’s prepared by the secretary of state.
