From what I understand (and perhaps I'm a little rusty), it is indeed the Secretary of State that approves ballot measures, but the Attorney General reviews them for the barest baseline violation of constitutionality (the Secretary of State having so such authority). This is usually a technicality, as I don't think even the most egregious ballot measures have been denied by the Attorney General ... but one which repeats a state constitutional amendment already ruled by a federal court to violate the U.S. constitution would, I assume, finally trigger the AG to act.
