Constitutional Amendments

As voters across Florida gear up for early voting for the November elections, and as some ballots have already been shipped out to overseas voters, one question is being repeated over dinner tables and text message chains: “How should I vote on this amendment that is asking me three different questions at the same time?”

The State of Florida on Thursday quickly appealed a ruling made by Circuit Judge Karen Gievers which knocked a greyhound-racing ban off the November ballot. The proposal sought to ban commercial greyhound racing in the state after December 31st, 2020.

Floridians vote on 13 amendments to the state constitution this November. They range from a ban on greyhound racing to establishing term limits on school board members. Political analysts Chris Carmody and Earnest DeLoach join Intersection to unpack the amendments.
