36. Folks I know
Didn't get enlightened at all, and because they weren't enlightened (either in the booth or beforehand) they vote "No" rather than risk sticking something with even more detail than the summaries in the constitution - and the folks I spoke with who told me they voted against all four had previously told me they were leaning "Yes."

The advance billing was that the amendments "simply" imposed campaign contribution limits, guaranteed the right to no questions asked absentee balloting, created a non-partisan state election board, and created a bipartisan redistricting committee. If you read the amendments, you can see there is nothing simple about them.

Absentee voters who voted at their election boards ahead of time were reported to have taken 20 minutes each.
