    It was a ballot initiative for an amendment. It was presented directly to voters. It was written so that voters could understand it.

        Not really, the average literacy rate in the U.S is ~7th grade. This isn’t just words, this is the ability to comprehend, remember, and critically think about what is read. Which is on average that of a 12 year old…

        Take 100 people and HALF of them are more literate than a educationally average 12 year old, the rest are LESS literate. That’s half of your voters…

        It’s a sad state of the U.S.

        So you would rather stuff that’s being put up to a vote be worded in a way that ambiguous? You want people to be able to slip in random new laws because it’s so difficult to read? How about it’s not only super difficult to read, but it was alson7 pages long? That’s how you’d rather vote?
