I suspect that in CO, like FL, it is WAY too easy for voters at the polls to amend the state constitution or enact statutes.

OTOH, since it leaves legislators off the hook for awful laws, state legislatures love referenda.

Outside of local elections, democracy sux.

Yes. 50% plus one. And you put something stupid in the constitution.
