I am still a no vote on this.  I see no need for a change, and keeping our guidelines the same as federal guidelines is the best way to keep things straight in the minds of voters.

Again, I think 20 minutes is a good time, especially because it mirrors the Federal Law.  What exactly about 20 minutes is it taht you diasgree with?

I don't see how that would contradict the constitution.  Our law does not break that.  Votes cast at 20 minutes would still be invalid under the law.  It only specifies after 20 minutes, it never says that votes cast before 20 minutes are always valid.

I think this amendment would be legal; however, I remain opposed.

Also, we had our own limitations on editing while that wording was in the Constitution and it was never nullified (not sure if there was ever a court case on it or not, though).

Voting is now open on the amendment.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 3, and the NAYs are 1, with 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the amendment is passed.  The Amendment is now passed onto the people for a public vote.
