    The vote doesn’t matter if the governor can just veto it like they did the monorail bill.

    Ok maybe veto isn’t the perfect word, but that amounts to what actually happened. Doesn’t matter how the governor killed it. Florida voters wanted the constitutional amendment and Bush killed it by referendum without the voters having any further say.

    Then there was the travesty of the Bush/Gore election.

    Florida voters know that their vote does not count.
