All constitutional changes require voter approval, and we the people are the voter.So you either are on the side to limit changes to the constitution by making it harder to change, especially changes that shouldn't be part of the constitution like free breakfast and lunch, or you want to keep it the way it is, which is 50% plus one vote.I contend that a constitutional change should require more than 50% plus one vote simply because we will have maybe a 40% eligible voter turnout this election, that's historically what its been for midterm elections in ND. So that makes it 20% plus one of actual voters to change the constitution. And good constitutional measures have consistently surpassed the 60% threshold, sluggo posted those stats, did you see that post?I think its dangerous ground, and that it should be harder to change the ND constitution. There is a reason millions of out of state progressive groups are trying to get measure 2 passed as its a constitutional change that really doesn't fix any problem at all. Consider it a test run for future nefarious progressive objectives which I have listed many times already.I fully support the 50% plus one vote to change state law however, but that's a whole different ball game.</blockquote>
