It seems crazy to me that currently it takes just 50%+1 to change the state constitution. That being said, fast-tracking a special election to raise the threshold to 60% before an amendment polling at 59% goes to the vote is the worst kind of anti-democratic behavior. They’re trying to change the rules halfway through the attempt.

Ballot measures are a great way to distill trust in democracy in a population. Directly voting on single issues is a great way to show that democracy matters especially since people views on a single issue are usually much clearer than party votes. This is classic undemocratic behavior.
