LOS ANGELES — With much attention being paid to close races across the country heading into the November election, a statewide proposition is seeing both sides pushing for their desired result.

The Southern California ACLU and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors have both voiced their opposition to Propisition 36 — which, if passed, would amend some parts of Proposition 47, which was originally passed in 2014.

If Proposition 36 is approved by voters, it would lead to felony charges and stiffer sentences for certain drug- and theft-related crimes.
