Florida Bill to Require Two-Thirds Popular Vote to Amend Constitution

Two Florida Representatives have introduced HJR 57, which changes the popular vote majority for constitutional revisions to pass, from 60%, to 66 2/3rds%. This is probably a reaction to the surprising results of the 13 constitutional amendments that were put on the ballot by the 2018 Constitutional Revision Commission. All but one of them passed, despite the 60% majority needed. But only four of them got as much as two-thirds of the popular vote. The authors are Rick Roth (R-Palm Beach) and Bob Rommel (R-Naples).
