   ACA 9, Longville.  Right to have vote counted.

commencing on the fourth day of December 2000, two-thirds of the
membership of each house concurring, hereby proposes to the people of
the State of California that the Constitution of the State be
amended by adding Section 2.5 to Article II thereof, to read:
  SEC. 2.5.  A voter who casts a vote in an election in accordance
with the laws of this state shall have that vote counted.
