I've seen a quote from one of the leaders of the opposition saying that he was concerned that up to 10% of the opponents of it would mistakenly vote "yes".

Now I understand the "Equality for All" slogan a lot more -- it's as much aimed at the loyal base (to keep them straight about which side is which) as it is at undecided voters.

Ouch. Thanks for the information!

It's the shortest, fastest, simplest, easiest-to-read proposition on the ballot (maybe even in the history of propositions?), and they're worried that 10% of the people on the "intelligent" side might get it wrong...? Were there ads I haven't seen that caused this confusion?
