The Incredible Shrinking Super Tuesday for Equality

Ward Connerly’s racial preferences initiative in Arizona has been disqualified from the November ballot for failing to gather enough signatures. It didn’t even come close. Months ago, Connerly pitched the idea of a “Super Tuesday for Equality” — five ballot initiatives in five states on Election Day. First Oklahoma dropped out, and we were down to four. Then Missouri dropped out, and we were down to three. Now Arizona has dropped out, and we’re down to two: Colorado, where the measure has qualified (along with a poison-pill initiative whose purpose is to confuse voters), and Nebraska, where the measure hasn’t qualified yet.
