Ballot wording means nothing these days.

Ballots are in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.

Can’t have one amendment with 4 different wordings. Words mean things.

Words mean things.

SCOTUS struck down this outdated viewpoint that words have meaning; words no longer mean what they mean, they mean whatever makes someone feel warm and fuzzy inside. Case in point: Marriage.

Words are signifiers. They only approximate the things described.
