Could be. Or it could indicate that courts are going to take care of it, and leave some discretion to a board.

Having now read the decision, I'm much more worried this will take the wind out of the sails of future 1A-based challenges to ex-felon disenfranchisement. I found this opinion conclusory and unpersuasive. I could even see SCOTUS going 9-0 against it after Carrigan.

I think passage of the constitutional amendment is a longshot since 60 percent is required for passage. I think ad buys are going to make it a partisan issue.
