Ayup I know this is {How} it's supposed to be .....But
are we sure thats how it actually is on the Mail in ballots for sure?
I was just wondering as it seems real straight forward to me
But like i said some of my Mothers older friends are having problems with it. (maybe the wording)
If they are having problems it could be this amendment will fail just due to poor understanding of it or the wording of it.
<sigh>

would set forth a constitutional right to hunt,
to fish, and to harvest wildlife and would

amendment would be subject to certain
