What I've noticed is that voters don't hesitate to vote for Republicans while voting against them on issues, so it shouldn't surprise us if people vote straight Republican tickets but disregard their referendum voting advice. The 60% requirement in Florida is a considerable wrinkle, but Florida is also a whole lot less Republican than states like Arkansas that have voted as I described. Is marijuana legalization very unpopular with retirees?
Honestly, I would think not but I am amazed at the number of my Democratic party friends that will vote no on #3 and yes on #4; I think your points are very valid but the 60% threshold kinda reminds me of the Democratic ceiling in Mississippi; that last 3-4% points is extremely difficult to navigate
Totally agree. We all could use some advice on which candidates to vote for, especially for the more obscure races. But, a ballot question? Nah nah nah, let me get my readers out. Even if not all people are smart enough to understand certain ballot initiatives, I bet a heavy, heavy majority of voters think they are.

I take your point on the last few points. Your friends are anecdotal, though.
Absolutely, but, in theory they 'should' be voting for; but for their own reasons will be against
