The only potentially bad act by the JP is announcing an election. But did they?

Once again the article is so poorly put together you can’t tell. It says:

“The [JP] panel later issued a press release that … said the issue could show up on a special ballot at the end of March, pending General Assembly approval.

The USG Judicial Panel announced the vote March 11.”

They announced what vote? Their own earlier vote to turn aside the ballot initiative due to procedural errors? Or they announced that the initiative would be on a special ballot to be held on March 11th?

The crux of the issue — the purported announcement of a special ballot — is so confusingly presented in the article we can’t tell if the impeachment attempt was bogus.

I’ve got to stop reading The Lantern. The writing just sucks. Don’t worry for now about form, or grammar etc. Focus first on understanding what exactly happened. Then express it is as clearly as you can. Hyper-focus on the heart of the issue (here, the JP’s alleged offense) and then very specific (e.g. include the text, which it sounds like you have, of the JP’s offending press release.)
