The failure of Tuesday's weed and abortion ballot initiatives despite majority support has once again raised the question: What the heck, Florida? The short answer: In 2006, Florida voters passed a constitutional amendment to raise the threshold to pass constitutional amendments from 50% to 60%.

While the nation is anxiously waiting to see who will be the next president, Florida is watching six constitutional amendments.

MIAMI - Florida's six-week abortion ban will remain law after voters rejected Amendment 4, a measure that would have enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution. The amendment failed to reach the 60% threshold needed to pass, garnering only 57% of the vote.
