In 1978 California voters overwhelmingly voted to amend the state constitution to impose a spending limit on state politicians
Every vetted record has a fingerprint that two keys signed and a timestamp authority stamped. The signed record, the keys and the receipts are in a public log, so you can check the signed copy there without relying on this site, and then check that this page shows that copy.

Judgments behind this record
Verdict on the claim
Call: Not supported
The guide's own summary for Proposition 41 refers to the state spending limit "approved by voters in 1979", not 1978, so the stated year is contradicted by the official record. (Proposition 13, a different measure, was approved in 1978.) The claim that voters imposed a state spending limit is otherwise accurate.

Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:
git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log ca-2026 ca-prop-2-claim-4 --repo .To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
