Although I voted, I thought it was pretty shitty of the legislature to schedule the vote on over twenty amendments to the Texas Constitution for last Saturday, Sept. 12 intead of having the ballot as a part of the election in November, when many more people would go to the polls to vote in local elections, including mayoral races in large cities, in a blatant attempt to have only those that really care about the individual issues to vote, thus ensuring that all the amendments, which were given a description on the ballot by the sponsors of each amendment, passed. Our state constitution has been amended over 200 times, and it's things like this that led to that. The whole process was a travesty of justice.
