require 60% of the vote to pass
so we only need 40% of voters to disagree
well
actually
one sec
shit
(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided for elsewhere in this constitution, if the proposed amendment or revision is approved by vote of at least sixty percent of the electors voting on the measure, it shall be effective as an amendment to or revision of the constitution of the state on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January following the election, or on such other date as may be specified in the amendment or revision.
So they need 60% to pass this, not absolute majority?
They need 60%
yes
Intruiging.
We have a better chance than I thought.
We have to make this count.
Amendments go into effect the 15th of January 2018 if passed.
We've got to think about the people who don't give a shit too
Y'know, the ones who mark "yes" down the line
@Dillpick88 then this is at least competitive
yeah
Voter outreach.
DeSantis NEEDS to endorse the 'No' vote then.
If we can convince those careless people to remember to mark "no" on amendment 4 that's all we need to do to change the tide
We have to get to as many people on these 3 subjects in FL as possible, in this order:
The vast majority of people don't understand the partisan effects.
We need to help them understand.

is it considered competitive by the locals @Dillpick88
DeSantis for Governor
No on 4
Scott for Senate
DeSantis hasn't commented yet.
The whole panhandle will oppose it if they know about it @🎃Boo-ton🎃
Maybe No on 4 is more important than DeSantis for governor
I know Escambia will oppose it outright, as well as Santa Rosa
Okaloosa as well
The ones East of that may need some talking to
Fun fact,
in 1974, the Florida GOP candidate for governor supported re-segregation
he won pretty solidly in the Panhandle
panhandle has always been more alabama than florida
escambia has become more and more red
72% of the county is registered as republican pretty sure
or it might just be that 28% is registered democrat
SECTION 4. Constitutional convention.—
(a) The power to call a convention to consider a revision of the entire constitution is reserved to the people. It may be invoked by filing with the custodian of state records a petition, containing a declaration that a constitutional convention is desired, signed by a number of electors in each of one half of the congressional districts of the state, and of the state as a whole, equal to fifteen per cent of the votes cast in each such district respectively and in the state as a whole in the last preceding election of presidential electors.
(b) At the next general election held more than ninety days after the filing of such petition there shall be submitted to the electors of the state the question: “Shall a constitutional convention be held?” If a majority voting on the question votes in the affirmative, at the next succeeding general election there shall be elected from each representative district a member of a constitutional convention. On the twenty-first day following that election, the convention shall sit at the capital, elect officers, adopt rules of procedure, judge the election of its membership, and fix a time and place for its future meetings. Not later than ninety days before the next succeeding general election, the convention shall cause to be filed with the custodian of state records any revision of this constitution proposed by it.
