Why does Fla. require a vote of 60% to pass constitutional amendments?
If the majority of Floridians had it their way, recreational marijuana would be legalized and abortion access expanded, as Amendment 3 on the ballot received 55% support and Amendment 4 received 57% support. However, Florida is one of four states that requires a 60% supermajority to change its constitution.
