Don't blame Napolitano, although she should not have signed this in to law.
Blame Jan Brewer, the Secretary of State. This maven of un-democracy is one to watch when it comes to undermining public participation.
She pushed this law because she did not like a particular initiative that was being circulated (it created more competitive state and legislative districts).
The beauty of it is that the language in the law is so broad and silly that certainly some initiative that she favors will be thrown out because the signature gatherers were not honest. Case in point: the "civil liberties" initiative pushed by Ward Connerly is really hiding an anti-affirmative action initiative. Shouldn't they say that?
