It was probably hurt by being added as supplemental material after the initial mailings went out. I got a red pamphlet with 3 questions and did my research on them ahead of time and knew how I was going to vote weeks ago. I actually didn't even realize there was a question 4 until a few days ago, didn't have time to look into it on my own and I never received supplemental material for it in the mail. So I had to read the question in the booth and try to decide on the fly how to vote. The confusing wording almost caught me off guard too. I could see accidentally voting the opposite way you intended on this one.

That was part of the No on 4 campaign (who brought the ballot initiative) strategy. They squeaked in under the wire at just about every deadline. By the time the Secretary of State's office certified the question, it was only 7 weeks until Election Day and it was rough getting the Yes on 4 defensive up and running as quickly as we'd have wanted.
