(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.

2018-09-19 02:49:00 UTC  

So they need 60% to pass this, not absolute majority?

2018-09-19 02:49:06 UTC  

They need 60%

2018-09-19 02:49:07 UTC  

yes

2018-09-19 02:49:08 UTC  

Intruiging.

2018-09-19 02:49:19 UTC  

We have a better chance than I thought.

2018-09-19 02:49:22 UTC  

We have to make this count.

2018-09-19 02:49:57 UTC  

Amendments go into effect the 15th of January 2018 if passed.

2018-09-19 02:50:44 UTC  

We've got to think about the people who don't give a shit too

2018-09-19 02:50:55 UTC  

Y'know, the ones who mark "yes" down the line

2018-09-19 02:51:06 UTC  

@Dillpick88 then this is at least competitive

2018-09-19 02:51:12 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-19 02:51:18 UTC  

Voter outreach.

2018-09-19 02:51:34 UTC  

DeSantis NEEDS to endorse the 'No' vote then.

2018-09-19 02:51:40 UTC  

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

2018-09-19 02:51:41 UTC  

We have to get to as many people on these 3 subjects in FL as possible, in this order:

2018-09-19 02:51:42 UTC  

The vast majority of people don't understand the partisan effects.

2018-09-19 02:51:46 UTC  

We need to help them understand.

2018-09-19 02:51:49 UTC  

^

2018-09-19 02:51:50 UTC  

is it considered competitive by the locals @Dillpick88

2018-09-19 02:51:53 UTC  

DeSantis for Governor
No on 4
Scott for Senate

2018-09-19 02:52:04 UTC  

DeSantis hasn't commented yet.

2018-09-19 02:52:09 UTC  

The whole panhandle will oppose it if they know about it @🎃Boo-ton🎃

2018-09-19 02:52:11 UTC  

Maybe No on 4 is more important than DeSantis for governor

2018-09-19 02:52:29 UTC  

I know Escambia will oppose it outright, as well as Santa Rosa

2018-09-19 02:52:35 UTC  

Okaloosa as well

2018-09-19 02:52:51 UTC  

The ones East of that may need some talking to

2018-09-19 02:53:41 UTC  

Fun fact,

2018-09-19 02:54:03 UTC  

in 1974, the Florida GOP candidate for governor supported re-segregation

2018-09-19 02:54:21 UTC  

he won pretty solidly in the Panhandle

2018-09-19 02:54:36 UTC  

panhandle has always been more alabama than florida

2018-09-19 02:54:44 UTC  

escambia has become more and more red

2018-09-19 02:55:00 UTC  

72% of the county is registered as republican pretty sure

2018-09-19 02:55:08 UTC  

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.

2018-09-19 02:55:44 UTC  

There's also this one

2018-09-19 02:56:28 UTC  

convince 15% of voters in each district to vote "yes," and the measure can be reviewed.

2018-09-19 03:04:37 UTC  

@FLanon I hadn't even heard about No on 4 so it sounds important to meme that
