I'm gonna be honest here. I must have read both those questions 10 times over. Yet, the blatantly convoluted syntax made it all but impossible for an average joe like myself to even begin to comprehend what the hell it means.

From what I gather, they're attempting to amend....something. With The Constitution, no less. If that's the case, it's a hard 'NO' for me. That's about as far as I got.

The League of Women Voters was created to assist people who were unfamiliar with enfranchisement to understand the system they are part of. They still do that.

Thank you for the reference! Certainly more useful than some comments I've seen throughout this thread.

Thanks for posting. I’m still a bit lost on question 1 but this helped with question 2.

The wording is complicated because they need to amend it in multiple spots to accomplish the goal.

/u/Selfless- 's link is also a good one.

But for a simple explanation:

The Register of Probate for your county no longer has any responsibilities or functions. This eliminates it as an elected position and gets rid of the multiple references to it in the state constitution.

It's getting rid of an archaic office that again, no longer does anything.

You currently get asked to elect someone to a completely pointless office. After this, you wouldn't.

There's basically no reason for anyone to vote against it unless you've got some strong opinions against the court/probate reforms from over a decade ago and want functions to go back to that office.....I don't know of anyone who actually holds an opinion about that.

Well, nearly everyone (in this subreddit, anyway) seems to have a strong opinion about...something. Perhaps not specifically this, though there are some who appear to have strong opinions on everything political.

It may just be contentious rhetoric from a select few. But that's what I've seen whenever someone asks a political question on Reddit.

Try Googling the questions you don't understand. Use many different sources and eventually you will understand what it means. Don't just blindly vote or make assumptions, that's more harmful than not voting at all. Either take the time to understand the question or skip it.
