Excuse me while I nerd-out for a moment. On the ballot today in Florida is Amendment 1 or Citizen Requirement for Voting Initiative, which would change the language of Florida's constitutional rules about voting from "every citizen of the United States... shall be an elector" to "only a citizen of the United States... shall be an elector."
C of U.S. --> E
vs.
E --> C of U.S.
The argument for the amendment: "The current language of the constitution states who CAN vote but not who can't (i.e. non-citizens)."
The argument against the amendment: "It's just another shady, low-key xenophobic tactic to suppress voters."
GOOOOO lawgic.

Thank you for voting! And yes, a good reminder that as annoying as the LSAT is, the skills we're learning are definitely going to make us more critical readers
Lol, as another Florida native that voted early, the 'lawgic' on most of those amendments were a big yikes. Especially with 1,3, and 4. Proud of you for voting and we gonna crush the LSAT!
