I think if the subjects are related they let it pass.

Oregon elections officials reject proposed school choice ballot measure

The proposed measure would allow parents to choose any school for their child and provide state funding for students in homeschooling or private schools, including those providing a religious-based education.

" Fagan said in a statement that she rejected the measure because it violated the state's "single subject rule," which requires ballot initiatives to address a single subject, topic or issue. By asking for changes to school funding laws and laws barring state funding of religiously-based education, the petition was actually geared at changing several constitutional statutes, she wrote."

Seems like there are double standards. I might not be clever enough to see the difference.

They should take this to court.
