A nonprofit group that contributed $11 million to help defeat a California ballot measure aimed at raising taxes must disclose documents so that state election officials can probe where the money came from, a judge said in a tentative ruling.
In a preliminary finding before a hearing today, state court Judge Shelleyanne W.L. Chang in Sacramento, California, sided with California election officials who said “a review of the documents is needed” before the Nov. 6 general election, or “the people of the state of California will suffer irreparable harm.” The judge didn’t indicate when she will rule before the hearing ended.
