Ambulance chaser, John Morgan, and his people, in an attempt to help Charlie Crist get votes (dem GOTV), decided to make this voter referendum a constitutional amendment. In order to become an amendment to the Florida Constitution, the voters need to approve it by at least 60% of the vote. A simple majority will not make the cut. That is Florida law.

So, they didn’t really want it to pass, but thought it might be politically useful to have on the ballot?

Do you know whether Florida has the option to pass laws by referendum - or just constitutional amendments?
