Re: So that’s how the ‘voting rights for felons’ thing passed in Florida...
It was approved by 65% of the vote - a shocking margin since the state is 50-50 GOP-Democrat.
Trump won by only 113,000 votes in Florida.
In 2020, both Arizona and Florida will be hanging by a thread for Republicans because of massive legal and illegal immigration.
What’s needed is a book or scholarly paper that reviews the horrid state laws and constitutional amendments passed via referenda at the polling place.
The people exercising direct democracy are not deliberative. Most, I suspect, give the matter as much thought as answering a telephone poll.
If the people are going to vote directly for laws, it should be done days apart from voting for representatives, senators and presidents.
My homestate of FL is a textbook example of why democracy is so dangerous.
