The bishops have no business lobbying for or against anything on a ballot anywhere, let alone putting financial resources into it

Actually, RC, I think the Bishops DO have the right to urge Catholics to vote against the death penalty.  The church is against the death penalty and the bishops need to let that known.  I saw an article before the election where Bishop Conley's words were being taken out of context in Lincoln, NE to make it look like he supported the reinstatement of the death penalty in Nebraska.   I'm not going to comment on the other issues.
