Pubbies version (Marriage):
"Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman"

Ritchies version:
"Limiting the Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples."

Pubbies version (Voter ID):
"Photo Identification Required for Voting"

Ritchies version (this is my favorite):
"Changes to In-Person & Absentee Voting & Voter Registration; Provisional Ballots."
