To give him the benefit of the doubt (not saying it's warranted), Georgia government interactions do seem to have a tendency towards "yelled at and fixed in a back room, face saving comments at the press conference."

See the history of our JQB (before voters questionably decided to give control to the legislature this election).

I think you mean:

Before the legislatures questionably took control after putting favorable wording on a ballot that the average uninformed voter read as a no brainer.

I feel like <20% of ballot measures are clearly worded, so that wasn't any surprise to me.

More fun was that State Rep. Johnnie Caldwell of Griffin, GA (formerly Judge Caldwell before being approached by the JQB and resigning due to allegations of sexually harassing a female attorney) was one of the co-sponsors of the amendment.
