    Wasn’t the ballot initiative also deliberately confusing? I remember seeing something about it and reading it myself and going “what the fuck is the answer for no slavery?”

      No, it wasn’t. It had no argument against, no supporters against, and the text was extremely simple.

        Yes/No Statement

        A YES vote on this measure means: Involuntary servitude would not be allowed as punishment for crime. State prisons would not be allowed to discipline people in prison who refuse to work.

        A NO vote on this measure means: Involuntary servitude would continue to be allowed as punishment for crime.

        Although I can’t seem to find if this text is on the ballot to explain it
