Florida and Kentucky Voters to Decide Key Amendments

In Florida, Amendment 1 proposes a shift to partisan school board elections starting in 2026, sparking debate over its influence on education, with supporters arguing it provides clarity on candidates’ values. Amendment 2 aims to protect hunting and fishing rights, facing criticism for potentially prioritizing traditional methods over regulation, while proponents argue it's essential for preserving Florida's heritage. Amendment 3 seeks to legalize recreational marijuana, with support from some bipartisan leaders, but critics warn it benefits large corporations by limiting licenses to existing medical marijuana centers. Amendment 4 would repeal Florida's restrictive abortion law, demanding a 60% voter approval, and faces contention over its vague language, though advocates assert it protects personal health care decisions. In Kentucky, Amendment 1 seeks to restrict voting to U.S. citizens, despite no evidence of non-citizen voting, opponents call it unnecessary and fear it could encourage voter suppression.
