"The governor of California today endorsed a referendum..." The point
of the referendum was explained in this sentence or elsewhere. Is
this sentence ambiguous?
That was ABC, I think. I watched part of the CBS news and they were
clear.

I'm not sure you can "endorse a referendum."
You can endorse a proposal to hold a referendum.
You can endorse the result of a referendum.
But how do you endorse a referendum?
