OVERVIEW: For this worksheet you will choose one CA 2022 November General Election ballot proposition and complete the following worksheet based on your research of the proposition along with it’s statewide, and county-level election results. Each of your responses to these questions needs to include the source you obtained this from! Your worksheet should draw from a minimum of 3 distinct sources. You must include a works cited at the end of your submission.
Citation style: You are allowed to use any citation style you prefer as long as it is an official style but MLA is preferred. You should be using in text citations whenever you are bringing in information from a source. In addition to citing your sources throughout, your worksheet should include a complete Bibliography on a separate page after you have written your final page of text.
Note: You should always cite to the primary source rather than citing to secondary online sources with crowdsourced information—as such, it is not acceptable to cite to Wikipedia and/or Ballotpedia in your Political Analysis worksheet. Always go to back to the original primary source cited, verify it, and cite it directly in your worksheet.
Structure: Your worksheet is structured for you to describe the policy substance and political significance of the ballot initiative you have chosen to research. Your analysis of your chosen ballot initiative for our worksheet will relate to the key concepts and principles. As such when you are working on your worksheet you may consider the role of: Interest Groups, Political Parties, Political Ideology, Other Institutions, Collective Action, the “Rules of the Game”, the history of California, direct democracy, the progressive movement & CA politics.
Citation Example:
For example if I was trying to cite a source in one of my responses it might look something like this:
Proposition 22 would also include language which would require a 7/8ths majority in order to alter any part of it. As noted by one article “Though tech companies often preach iteration, the measure requires an unusually high 7/8 supermajority — a political near-impossibility even in dark blue California — for lawmakers to make later changes to pay requirements or other provisions, including a ban on driver unions.” (Hepler 2020).
Additionally, in my works cited page I would include:
Hepler, Lauren. 2020. “What to Know about Gig Worker Pay before Voting on Prop. 22.” CalMatters, October 6, 2020, sec. Economy. http://calmatters.org/economy/2020/10/gig-worker-pay-prop-22/.
