Minnesota Attorney General Says Secretary of State Had Power to Change Gay Marriage Ban Title |
|
|
|
Minnesota's attorney general argued Monday that Secretary of State Mark Ritchie was acting within his power when he revised the title of a ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage.
The point is central to a brief submitted to the state Supreme Court by Attorney General Lori Swanson's office on behalf of fellow Democrat Ritchie, both of whom were accused of political mischief for swapping a chosen title for a more pointed one. The original title was "Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman." Ritchie's replacement reads: "Limiting the Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples."
The court filing said Ritchie was following a law that "plainly empowers the Secretary to provide titles for all proposed constitutional ballot questions."
