Turnout was cut in half for one. Lack of an aggressive push, maybe?

I think the biggest problem is the lack of promotion and advocacy for these amendments. Remember how devisive the Ludlow Amendment was? If such intense debate had occured I am confident Fair Amending Procedure would have passed once again.


You know, you could try suing and seeing if you can get the Supreme Court to rule that it had passed once it was ratified the last time. At the very least it could provide clarification whether the Governors can pre-ratify an amendment (provided the text is exactly the same) since they have such flexibity regarding ratification after senate passage (as late as years afterwards even, or not at all).

I would lose anyways. But I can't believe I literally PMed people who supported it about supporting it again and that those people voted nay. It was Yelnoc, TB75, and many others... Also look at Duke, who was one of those who pushed forward the final compromise !

Yea, but I still think the public campaign has an important impact on interest and then turnout.

I certainly have not been privy to any efforts regarding any of these amendments. I haven't had the time, so don't look at me.
