His “intervention” reminded me of this old sketch. Thought you might appreciate!

They used crumby wording to get people to vote for it. I’m still disappointed that this wording got approved to go on the ballot:
A “yes” vote supported amending the state constitution to:
provide that only U.S. citizens 18 years or older can vote, thereby prohibiting the state or local governments from allowing non-citizen voting; establish that each voter has one vote per issue or open seat; prohibit ranked-choice voting; and require plurality primary elections, where one winner advances to the general election.
A “no” vote opposed this amendment, thereby maintaining that “all citizens of the United States” who are 18 years of age or older may vote in elections and that ranked-choice voting may be enacted at the local or state level via ordinance or state statute.
TLDR: They said the amendment required proof of citizenship to vote, but that was already federally required. They then tacked on RCV to get it banned by amendment. >:(

Glad to help!
