Reply to comment by ThisIsNotTuna in Question 2 - "Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the constitution?" by DietCokeMachine
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.
