I imagine this is a bit how John Adams felt when he finally got everyone to agree to independence... but only if they continued to allow slavery in the US. I'm bitterly disappointed, although not really surprised.

And I just can't help but feel that something as important as changing the constitution, even a state one, needs to have more than just a slight majority. A slight majority does not represent the true feelings of the state. It needs to be overwhelming. Now, I haven't seen the final results, but...

Whatever. What does it matter?

I think it is a state by state thing. I know that in the state of TN, for example, in order to change the Constitution of the state, there must be a 3/4 majority vote.

It's painful. It's like that one persistent black cloud that keeps you from fully enjoying the sunrise.
