That wasn't as obvious, and it was back in the days when the electorate was largely ignorant of the massive RAT voter fraud going on across the country. They've smartened up since then.
We had a similar thing on our ballot today. Basically it delt with a constitutional rule about numbering ballots. (the intent was to be able to verifiy if fraudulent after the election.)
I believe the measure passed because people saw it as a privacy issue.
The rats saw it as a fraud eliminator. Now they can go wild with illegal votes and nobody can catch them after the vote is cast.
These things pass because the real issue is hidden by a simple emotional response.
