So in a free society the voters of Florida can't pass a constitutional amendment?

One question for you and one statement for you.

What percentage of Floridians voted, either for or against, on this amendment?

I know what the percentage was and the rest of Florida got exactly what they deserve for not going to the polls, socialism at it's best/worst.

Are you saying that you think this amendment passed because turnout wasn't high enough? Give me a break! It passed by an overwhelming margin. (71% for vs. 29% opposed). It passed by over 2,000,000 votes (3,501,161 for vs. 1,431,966 against). 55.3% of the voters showed up to vote that day, so unless you think that the other 44.7% would have gone 50/50 instead of closer to the 71/29 result of the rest of the electorate, then the amendment still passes even if 100% of the electorate votes that day.
