Description
Here's the database of measures qualified for ballot:
https://oag.ca.gov/initiatives/qualified-for-ballot?field_initiative_date_value%5Bvalue%5D%5Byear%5D=2014
Will this work? The ballot initiative text is in PDF, which sucks.

Research direction
Start with the linked California DOJ qualified-for-ballot database and inspect the 2014 measures and their PDF ballot texts. Determine whether the source contains the fields OpenDisclosure needs and whether the PDFs are usable; done means recording a clear conclusion about suitability and the remaining extraction work.
