I hope everything goes well

Florida has 1,686,318 disenfranchised felons.

It's around 35-40% white. Hispanic felons have even lower turnout than normal Spics, likewise blacks.

Those whites are mostly poor who voted Trump.

That's at the very least 100,000 voters for the democrats.

100,000 of that 1.6 million are currently incarcerated

It'll probably have a partisan effect of maybe 1 or 2 extra percentage points for the Democrats**.

which is HUGE

so 1.4 million felons will have their rights restored, assuming another 100,000 of those inmates were convicted of sexual offenses or murder

Trump won Florida by just over 100,000 votes

so this is a death wish

This year counts.

Campaign your heart out.

That's an understatement.

trump won by 1.2%

Every senior in my school is a Republican except for maybe 30

and if the partisan effect is 1-2% then that's over

He would have to do a fantastic job in those lasting 2 years to barely win

And then goodbye Florida

then the GOP is permanently exiled from the presidency

florida as permanently democrat would strip republicans from the presidency for at least 3 terms tbh

It would be the end

I'm moving to Alabama for college anyways

All politics would have to be about radicalization from thereon out

Might I add that this commission meets every __20__ years

that's 5 terms.

BUT amendments can also be proposed by the florida legislature and a citizen's initiative

thereby giving us a chance to repeal it before it actually goes into effect

Hopefully in the event that this ballot initiative passes, state legislature overturns it

I just hope Floridians learn the mistake they're about to make.

We must try to keep it from getting to that point in the first place.

All amendments are made by direct vote by citizens

Best hope that a million new Boomers are moving to FL to retire

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?
