60% seems too high to me. If a majority of a Senator's constituents want him recalled, it seems fair to me to allow them to have their special election, regardless of how large that majority is. Why not set the threshold at that?

I'd support raising the percentage a tad bit higher if you all feel its too low, but 60% seems too high. I do not accept as friendly.
What about 50%?

I offer the following amendment. All I did was take Marokai's amendment and reduce the petition requirement from 60% of a Senator's constituents to 50%.

When we say constituents, what do we mean by that? People who voted for that candidate? Or 50% of the region's total population?
The latter.
