Leaders with a victim complex... of course they're afraid someone's going to write unfair pro-liberal descriptions of ballot measures. I'm really tired of Rs pretending that political "discrimination" is worse than actual discrimination and poverty.

Not sure how all of the states stack up, but out of the 6 states I've lived in, the only one to issue a voter's guide was a red state. Alaska.
