Virginia’s Deliberately Confusing Constitutional Amendments

If the Republican Party’s congressional candidates in Virginia keep even close to the semi-plurality in the lower chamber that they currently have at 5-6 seats, it may be driven by the campaigns going around the Commonwealth ginning up interest in defeating the constitutional amendments that are also on the ballot.

These three amendments are very much like the redistricting amendment, bearing little similarity to the way they’re portrayed on the ballot.

It’s one thing to play “fast and loose” with details in a mailer promoting something or someone you are campaigning for. It’s an entirely different thing, and one that the Left in Virginia has become very good at, to write ballot language that bears little correlation to the actual impact of the amendment.

They obfuscate with rhetoric like, “We only have so much space,” and “We want to make it easy for voters to understand what the vote is about,” as their excuse to write ballot text that bears little, if any, similarity to the actual amendment outside of the fact that it says this is voting for or against the amendment.

Take, for example, the marriage amendment.

Former Virginia Rep. Bob Good has taken up the presidency of the Virginia Conservative Action Fund and has been going around the Commonwealth speaking to groups, telling them that this amendment is not about whether homosexual marriages are going to be permitted as much as it’s about compelling you to comply with someone who wants you to participate in a homosexual marriage ceremony.
