Proposition 200, known as Protect Arizona Now, will likely be on the
Nov. 2 ballot, officials said. The campaign that it will trigger is
expected to make Arizona a national battleground in the fight over
illegal immigration. Kevin Tyne, top aide to Secretary of State Jan

signatures, well above the 122,612 needed to qualify for the ballot.
Activists on both sides of the issue are awaiting official results from
the count to determine their next steps. [more ]
