Pa. voters approve constitutional amendments to curb governor's power

4. This is not exactly a done deal

These two questions only started the constitutional amendment process as I understand it.

Now there will have to be actual legislation written and it will have to pass unchanged in two consecutive legislative sessions. This isn't as easy as it seems. FairdistrictsPA, an organization that has been working for about the 3-4 years to get the constitution amended to provide a non-partisan, citizen-led redistricting process enacted has repeatedly failed despite having wide bi-partisan support for the same bill in the state house and state senate. If these amendments manage to pass two consecutive sessions, then they will put on the ballot for a final vote.

If voting for constitutional amendments was as easy as getting a question on the ballot in the primary, there would be a whole lot more changes to the state constitution than there are.
